I love reading in the bath. Often times I get so engrossed that the water goes cold :lol:

I have read in the bathtub, but its really not my favorite. I find that I concentrate on not dropping the book so much that the bath isn't enjoyable. I did, however, enjoy reading in the kids inflatable pool, the side balloons were wide enough that I could rest my book on it hands free :)
Adventure...one part stupidty plus two parts perseverence....yeah, that's me!

Totally but I use my phone so I'm always terrified of it falling in the bath.

Yes! It is my favorite way to read. Some people frown apon it but if you find a book that you absolutely love and are in a nice hot bath or bubble bath after a long day it is the best feeling. Imagine living in a cold place (hard for me since I live in Florida and anything below 70 is cold to us) and you just came home from a hard day of working or from school. Your feet hurt and your back hurt. You feel freezing. You make a nice vanilla scented bubble bath. You sit in the hot water with bubbles encasing you. Then you pick a nice good book and start reading.

Nope, not much for baths, and hard to keep the book dry in the shower! LOL

I have a few times, but I have to put the book down to get out when the water gets cold and that annoys me. But I love to read outside in the sunshine!

My hands are too full of wine glasses and chocolates in the bath - the book has to wait until afterwards :-)

Of course! Everyone should try reading while taking a bath at least once in their life. Maybe I am a little too excited about this, but I really do enjoy reading while taking a bath. I do not like just sitting and doing nothing. I want to be constantly moving and learning. So, reading in the tub just adds to that desire.

all the time, that's one of my favorite times to read.
