Lately I've been trying to read a chapter or two right before bed. Once the kids are down, I'll watch a show with Hubs, then get ready for bed, read a chapter or two, then lights out.

I feel like I'm reading something all day long, even if most is work related. I read news stories when I take brakes. I read almost every night before going to bed, usually The New Yorker or a novel.

I'm in a bookclub, which forces me to read so I love that part! But my schedule is so fragmented and organized by what is most urgent, that I ususally end up reading for 2-3 hrs a night, a couple days before our bookclub meets! So probably 10 hours a month - in 3 days!

I love reading, but also find that sometimes in the evening I'm too tired to want to do more than watch tv. But I often read during the day. I have the OverDrive app on my phone, so I check out library books on my phone, and so I can read really easily, like while my son is playing/when my husband is home and the two of them are playing together, or while I'm nursing. (I used to read A LOT while nursing - don't nurse so much anymore.)

Every day on my train commute which is ~25 minutes each way. Sometimes during my lunch break. I get through 2-3 books/month that way.

It's so hard with 2 kids, I usually just veg out in front of the tv after they're in bed. But I love to read and want to make it a priority. It helps when I've got something I'm really into, I'm more likely to make it a priority.

I read pretty much all day long for work. As far as reading for pleasure, some nights not at all and some nights maybe half an hour to an hour?

A few times a week, but it's stuff like Time magazine. I haven't picked up an actual book once this year, which saddens me, but it is what it is at this stage of my life.

I have had a hard time since having DS. I'm so tired that I don't get through much before falling asleep. Now that I'm on mod. bedrest, I've gotten to read more, so it's been great!

When I was working, I tried to make a point of actually taking a lunch break and reading for half an hour every day. Now that I'm on mat leave I'm reading a lot while nursing - I'm on my eighth book in the 3 weeks since Weston was born.
