I love books (Photo credit: jamarmstrong)
I love reading, but what with my day job, my Creative Writing MA studies, drafting my novel, and all the usual day-to-day stuff to fit in, it can be tough to grab much time to read.
I’m lucky that I’m a fast reader, especially if the story grips me from the outset and carries me along, but I reckon that it’s only around an hour a day that I manage to read for in the week, and that’s split into short bursts – a couple of minutes as I drink my first morning coffee, a few minutes at lunchtime, a little longer if I’m soaking in the bath. I usually get to read for longer at the weekends, although it never seems like long enough!
What about you?
Do you read every day, or just at the weekends?

Oh yes, that’s why I love my ridiculous commute and refuse to move closer to work! I’m worried though because I’m facing the possibility of leaving London and moving somewhere I have to drive to work. That would severly cut down my reading time :s

Oh yes, trains are great for that aren’t they. I also like spotting what books other commuters are reading to get ideas for my next read!

Oh yeah that’s fun as well! Have a quick read over a shoulder to see if it’s worth trying. can get a bit awkward though, I’ve had to contort myself into some funny positions to try and see the cover of someone’s book…
