Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme that was originally created and hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books starting in August 2019, and was then cohosted by Dani @ Literary Lion from May 2020 to March 2022. Since April 2022, the meme moved to another host, Aria @ Book Nook Bits. Let’s Talk Bookish is a meme where participants discuss certain topics, share their opinions, and share their love by visiting each other’s posts.

This week’s topic is Reading Routine and is suggested by The Bagler @ It’s The Bageler.

Prompts: Do you have a daily reading routine? Do you read certain books at certain times, or just read whatever, whenever? Do you carve out time to read every day, or just read when you feel like it? Do you like reading in specific places, or do you just read wherever you can?

Do you have a daily reading routine? Do you read certain books at certain times, or just read whatever, whenever?

I don’t have a specific reading routine. However, I would like to read on the commute to work, but I wait with opening up a book untill I’m seated in the train or metro. My tram ride to both train and metro is a little too short to get into a book, so that’s why I wait. I tend to read books that aren’t on the Kindle app when travelling, that’s much easier for my phone battery. It’s probably a dutch book or audiobook then.

Do you carve out time to read every day, or just read when you feel like it?

I’m a huge mood reader, so I don’t carve out time to read every day. Sometimes, there are days I haven’t read a single word of my current read. One of those days was last Sunday, I just wasn’t up for it. However, I always try to read at least a bit every day though.

Do you like reading in specific places, or do you just read wherever you can?

I’m not one for reading in crowded places. So, when there are screaming children in public transport for instance, I probably will put on Spotify instead. I just can’t focus on a book then, especially with audiobooks. For the most part, I read wherever and whenever I can though.
