No, I cannot say that I have. Maybe this means I do not read enough...

Yes. I keep a towel by me so I can dry my hands and I'm super careful so I don't get the book wet.

I would like to try reading in a tub just like in the movies. But it's hard to when you have 2 kids and share the bathroom with 4 other people it being a one bath house

If I'm having a really bad day, I will pour a glass of wine and read in the tub. It is so relaxing and makes me feel a million times better.

No, I'd be afraid of ruining my kindle.

Yes, but it's challenging not to get the book wet.

I like to listen to audio books while I'm in the bath. Less chance of water, and I get to keep both hands free for washing!

I have never read while a bath I always been scared to wet or drop it in the water. I have a tendency to be clumsy when i'm not suppose to be.

Uhh, no...; I feel like the pages would get wet, then dry out all wavy (WHICH KILLS ME).

I used to love reading in the bath! A nice hot bath, a bath bomb melting in the water, some scented candles scattered around and good book - absolute perfection! Unfortunately, the bathroom in our current flat is always freezing so I can't enjoy a good bath anymore!

I used to read in the bath...but my clumsiness has reached a point where I am incapable of doing so without dropping the book into the water. Which is not a desirable thing to do.

Yes I have and I do enjoy it...I'm just afraid that I'll accidentally get the pages wet! It's very relaxing though.
