I do it all the time! In fact, it's one of my favorite places to read. It is very relaxing, with the proper lighting. I do get afraid of dropping the book or getting it wet but I'm careful. If it happens, it just adds to the character of the book. I love it!

I can't even remember the last time I took a bath (that isn't to say I don't bathe!!! I'm just used to taking showers lol!). But yeah, I've actually been meaning to make myself a nice warm, bubbly bath with scented candles and read a nice book. It sounds so relaxing. Never done it, but it is definitely on my to do list!

I definitely have, although I no longer let my sister with my books, since she dropped one in the water.

Only cheap magazines. I don't want to spend $10 on a book and get it wet.

No, I'm afraid of getting the book wet and the position I have to sit in makes my wrists hurt from holding the book up.

I have tried it but don't like it. I worry about getting the book wet and my tub just isn't that relaxing (ie really small).

I have but after the time I dropped the book in and spent so much time drying it out I stopped. I am waiting for waterproof tablets.

Reading in the bath is my absolute favorite thing to do! I put in some Dr. Teal's Epsom salt, put on a face mask, a hair mask, and read up a storm with a glass of water and an alcoholic beverage! My idea of the most relaxing situation ever!

I absolutely have! I love to fill up the tub with bubbles and read until the water gets cold!

I do occasionally. It is the ultimate way to relax while reading a book. I did invest in a waterproof case for my iPad though just in case.

I have before but I just don't like it. I end up getting the book wet and it's annoying.
