I have to read every day. Most of it is right before bed, since that's the only time I have.

As a stay at home mother I'm lucky in a way since i can catch multiple chances at reading ( even if its only for 15-20 min.) Though i tend to do most of my reading after my kids have went to bed til i fall asleep.

I have varicose veins so I have to sit down and put my feet up every couple hours or so. It gives me a good excuse to sit down and read for 15 to 20 minutes. Otherwise I am on the go but I always have a book with me just in case I have a few minutes while waiting for something.

I dont make time for reading. I force myself to stop reading to make time for everything else! Lol. I read all the time. I always have my ereader with me and if I have a spare minute then Im reading. Breaks at work, while on hold on the phone, riding in the car, while something bakes in the oven, while the dough is rising, standing in line at stores, you name it.

With audio books I can "read" while doing dishes, cleaning, or driving. For print books, I read whenever I can sneak in a few min. I usually have a book at hand, and I don't mind reading a page or two at a time.

As a college student, I find it difficult to read but have managed to balance time while in school. Now that it's summer and I have no classes I read whenever I can. At home I read my paper books but when going out I will read off of my iphone with the kindle app. Makes it easier and more convenient when you're waiting in an office for an appointment or even going to the gym.

I'm a huge reader so of course I make time to read, especially if I'm with my gamer boyfriend, who loves video games and hates to read! But then again they say opposite attract. If I' with him and I have the itch to read I ask him if he's having the itch to play video games and we just sit together while we do our old thing and once in awhile pull eachother into our worlds, for me pulling him in is when I gasp at a certain part of a book and tell him about it and when he makes this awesome super combo thing or beats a boss.

I think because reading is one of my most enjoyable passtimes I just fit in between anywhere I can in the day around my more mundane duties. But when I go to bed that's when reading is all I can focus on

I take time to read at night when there is less distraction and I get to read more pages.

I read for thirty minutes at lunch and for about an hour at bedtime. Other than that, any time I can squeeze in a few minutes.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

My partner goes to bed a couple hours before I do each night, so while I often get tired before the two hours is up - I for at least an hour before I go to sleep every single night. It's MY time!
