Is it just me?: Reading in the bath...

So the other day I discovered something wonderful!

I was reading Dead as a Doornail (review went up yesterday) by Charlaine Harris, and as many of you may have noticed...once you get into them, they are very addictive!

I only had a few more chapters to go and I couldn't stand waiting until after dinner to finish it.

I was in the middle of running a bath and I thought to myself...might work...so just as an idea I snuck my book in with me.

It was AWESOME!!



Now I always thought that this:
Would inevitably lead to this:


But it was absolutely fine! And it was so relaxing!

I haven't felt so clean after a bath, probably because I haven't soaked in one for that long in ages. I am still more of a shower person than I am a bath person but baths just got that much more inviting!

I would say that if you are going to try this, make sure to keep a towel handy and to not use your most favourite can't stand to see the pages creased book but rather a well used paperback until you get the hang of reading in the bath.

But I can guarantee you it will be the most relaxing thing you do all day. Plus you're multi-tasking! Reading whilst getting clean!

It's definitely worth a try!
I cannot read in the bathtub. I always end up getting wet hands and that leads to wet pages and it's horrible! I hate ruining my books since most of them are so damned expensive.

Fair enough, I keep a towel beside me and wipe my hands every time I want to pick up the book :) I'm still a bit scared of dropping them though
I am not a big fan of baths full stop, and so reading in the bath is not enticing at all. I know that I would drop my book in the bath!

I'm still scared if going that!

I don't really like baths either, but reading took it up a notch for me...and there's no distractions in the bath like internet so I can get lost in the book whilst being really warm lol.
