Yes but I stopped after one time I fell asleep in the bath and my book got ruined.
Thank goodness it was a paperback and I had just ordered the hardback cover version!!!

I do it most of the time. I like to soak, and I can't seem to just sit there and do nothing. I love reading in the bath because it's extra relaxing.

I sometimes relax on the bathtub and read a book and then continue it in my bed.

I used to read in the tub a lot, but when I was about twelve I was rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire I dropped it! Grabbed the cover in time to keep the whole book from getting a bath, but since roughly half the pages got wet the book is twice the size it's supposed to be and those pages are wavy. I'm perfectly happy with it though, it makes it unique.

Almost once a week! I love it it is so relaxing especially if you have good aromatherapy scents along with a glass of ice cold lemonade! :) its a perfect setting to get into your book!

No, I haven't. I know it's probably very relaxing, but I never have time for leisurely baths nowadays.

I have a tendency to drop things, so even if I did take baths, I wouldn't risk loosing my books to the water.
So many books to read, so little time..
