I thought I was the only one who did this! I do this all the time, though I'm very careful to never get the book wet if I can help it.

This is my favorite place to read. It's very relaxing and I can shut everyone else out!

The real question is this:
Have you ever read while taking a shower?

All the time, especially a nice bubble bath with some candles on the counter and the cat laying on the floor. Hmm sounds like the perfect evening too me especially if there is a thunderstorm outside hmmm.

Yes. I usually take my kindle with me. It may not be the best thing though.

Yes, it is quite peaceful and relaxing, especially when you have five children. A great way to get some alone time!

No, I would be always afraid, what if it falls into the water, since I can be quite clumsy.

Yes. I always have either a book, or my kindle or nook with me everywhere I go.

I tried it once, but the water made the pages wet, so I didn't do it again.

Would if I could, but I never seem to have time for baths anymore! Hmmmm. Perhaps in the shower...

Yes, because sometimes a book is so good I don't want to stop reading the entire time I'm in the bath tub :D

I have never read while taking a bath. Only because I read eBooks. I am afraid of dropping my device in the bath. It sounds like paradise though. I may need to purchase a waterproof case. :)

Yeah, and it's so stressful because I always accidentally put the bottom in the water because I'm so engrossed...
