My oldest daughter would read in the tub. She used a board that conveniently bridged the width of the tub.

I really enjoy a good book in the bath. I often stay in the bath so long getting lost in my book that someone knocks on the door to ask if I am alright. The book is not what ends my bath, but the cold water.

I find this a hilarious question. My answer is YES I have haha. However I don't anymore because I dropped it in the tub. So now I just don't take baths because the temptation is too great:P

I love reading in the bath, the only problem is that it's so relaxing I often end up asleep!!! Not funny when my kids get photographic evidence, thank goodness for bubbles!

I do when I get lost in a book. It adds to the relaxation.

(Almost) Everyday! :D
I find it very relaxing that as you are calming down your body, you can focus your mind and get really involved in whatever you are reading. It's definitely a good way to multitask without having it be too consuming.

No - I'm a hot power shower kinda woman. On the occasion when I have to opt for a bath, it's in, get the job done & out - no wallowing.

I mostly shower but occasionally I take a tub bath to soak away stress. I have to have a book or I would not be able to sit there doing nothing! I set up everything I need before getting in, a tray to set the book on, a hand towel to dry my fingers before turning the page, bath salts, candle etc. I only do this maybe 2 or 3 times a year but I make the most of it when I do.
