August 18: Do you have a daily reading routine? (The Bageler @ 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?

Welcome to another week of LTB here at DTRH, everyone! Today’s topic is about a daily reading routine, or routines in general. I’m curious whether y’all have a routine or whether it’s just a on-the-fly kind of deal. Definitely let me know in the comments below.

I personally do not have a daily reading routine. I will try and read every day if there’s a deadline coming, or if there’s a particular book that I am trying to get through during a busy time. But in general I don’t keep to a daily reading routine, or any routine really, when it comes to reading.

I only want to read when I want to read. Part of why reading is so fun and relaxing is because it is always on my own time, and something I willingly choose to do. For me, having a routine, or a “push” to do something can often lessen the intrinsic fun of the activity itself. That being said, sometimes it’s necessary to structure your life and schedule in order to make things happen during busy times!

I definitely like to read in specific places, though I’m not sure I can really point out where. I think in bed or anywhere comfy is always a great option. But I also really enjoy reading on long commutes or in waiting rooms where you can drown out your surroundings by reading in your head. Do any of you do that? I feel like sometimes it’s more effective than wearing earbuds with something playing.

What are all y’alls routines? In favour of routine or no routine? Let me know in the comments below!
