I've tried to but I end up getting distracted by cats (the No Closed Door policy the cats have instated) and don't get any reading done.

Frequently. Especially if it is a book I can't put down.

Yes, one of my favorite past times ever. Super relaxing. Bubbles, and a candle can make it feel luxurious too!

No. Absolutely not trying to get my book wet. A lot of other fun stuff to do other than reading in the bath :wink:

Yes, I read every time I take a bath. In fact these are the rare moments when I actually pick up a paperback (or when I go to the beach - I'd be afraid to take my iPad with me). You should see my curled up pages in the 'well loved' books in the bath :)

I love reading in the bath, but I don't do that very often, especially since recently the books I have been reading are not from my own personal library.
I remember from long ago, like when I was 6 my friend suggested to me that I read in the bath & I was so worried about getting it wet, so she came up with the idea to hook it on one of the retractable dog leashes. I don't know if that would work I never really tried it, but this post reminded me of that.

Nope, and never will. I know myself well enough that I can predict ending up with a bunch of soggy sad books/

Of course! Only thing is it made me a little nervous, because I was afraid I would drop my tablet in the water. Lol

I tried once, but I kept getting the books all soapy and wet on the edges.

Yes. I do not read a hard cover book while in the tub, but I have a app on my phone where I can read books.

Sadly no. I do not like spending time in the restroom while im taking a shower. I just take a shower. I prefer to read in my room where I can read comfortable and have coffee.

Yes, a while back before the toddler and newborn came along- loved it until of course the water got cold.
