Re: How the heck do you people read so many books....?

I started reading while my kids are playing. I have to read an actual book, not on my Nook or they jump all over me. But it allows me to work on my bookshelf TBR. I also read while eating lunch and then I read on my Nook at night for 1.5 hours before bed.

I have 3 small children too, I read a lot at night before bed, and am a fast reader. I read during naps, and sometimes int he AM while they play, on weekends, or when I am waiting at the Dr's, etc. IDK Mostly at night I guess. I probably read 1-2 books a week on average.

No kids! You deserve a medal for reading a page a month with 3 kids! Chat Icon

ETA: I mostly read while I commute.

I read on my commute and in bed.

I'm on a reading kick right now and have read 9 books in the last 3 weeks. I just started my 10th last night.

I stay up until midnight (sometimes later if I can't put it down) reading.

Once I get off this kick it may be a couple of months before I go on another one.

Re: How the heck do you people read so many books....?

I have 3 kids (DS who is 4.5 and my twins will be 2 in April). Started actively reading again last year (read 59 books in 2012) and have kept up with it since. Not really sure how I do it LOL I do get up on the early side and will read while the kids eat breakfast, read while the nap, but mostly when they are in bed.

I have two kids and I read while they play, while I'm on the treadmill at the gym and I don't watch tv really when I'm into a good book, I read instead. I am just finishing book 5 of the game of thrones series and I've read them all over about 2.5 months. They're all almost 1000 pages each!

Audio books. I get an hour of "reading" each day. It's a heck of a lot better than listening to the "music" on the radio during my commute....

I read when my kid is sleeping and before bed when DH is in the shower. If it's a really good book I make more time to sneak in reading!!

I mostly read before bed. But when DS is napping, DD and I will play for a little and then I give myself "mommytime" and will read for 30 min to an hour before he wakes up.
