Today's topic is:
Where I Read
I really am not picky about where I will read; generally when I have time to read I try to make use of said time no matter where I am. When I am at home, more likely than not I am ready on the couch. I don't tend to read in bed too often because it is more likely that I will fall asleep and forget what I read and where I am in the book. I am not completely opposed to it, though. I also like to read when I take a bubble bath; nice and relaxing.
Everyday at school I have a fifteen minute period in one of my classes were my students do silent reading (It's a school wide reading initiative), so I get to read during that time, too. It's not the most ideal reading time since I do have to break pretty consistently to make sure that my students are actually reading and not causing trouble, but I usually manage to get two or three chapters in on a good day.
I absolutely cannot read when I am in a car or on an airplane, though. I get motion sickness pretty easily, and when I try to read while I'm moving like that it just makes the whole thing that much worse. I do think that I need to get more into audio books though, since I do spend at least two hours of my week days driving to and from work.
I have that same thing when I'm in a car or a bus, and it's really almost a handicap! My theatre group and I were driving to Belgium for our performance this summer, and I'm really not used to driving for so long, and I just couldn't read. What do people do while being on the road when they can't read?! I tried audio books, but I can't seem to concentrate on them as much as I can on a book or on my kindle, when I'm actually reading the words. Very frustrating.

Ooh it would be awesome to have a teacher like you who let me have some reading time in class! That sounds awesome :D It's nice not to be too picky about where you read, and I understand about reading in bed and falling asleep. I am someone who does read in bed all the time, though xD My favourite place to do so, and in the middle of the day sometimes I climb inside just to read myself!
