Reading Rituals
What are your reading rituals? Do you have a reading nook? What snacks or drinks must you have handy? Share pictures and recipes!
I am most comfortable reading in bed. Honestly, I do everything in my bedroom. It is my nook, my happy place. I only spend time in my living room if I have guests over, and even then most of the time we stay in my bedroom, too. (Typically it is my mother and brother and friend down the street.)
Yes, I eat in bed. I blog in bed. I watch TV in bed. I keep my TV on at night. I curl up with all my pillows just right, lay back, and read until my eyes hurt or I have to get ready and go somewhere. I usually have the TV on for background noise, something on Netflix I’ve seen before.
Just like when I write, when I read I get in a trance. I can ignore most of the bodily functions for quite a while. I’ll wait until I have to race to the bathroom because I am so engrossed. I typically ignore the fact that I’m hungry. Sometimes it goes away, and sometimes I slink off to the kitchen to find whatever requires the least amount of time.

I spend most of my day in the office, but I only read books in bed. I don’t like to read sitting up. Also, the only time I really have to read is right before I go to sleep, so reading in bed is convenient.
Hmm, I guess my reading ritual would be that I only listen to audio books at two times. In the car on the way to/from work, and I put on an audio book to fall asleep to.
How do you set it up so that it’s not playing all night long while you’re sleeping? That has happened to me once.
It has a sleep timer.
I tend to do most of my reading in bed too but I’d love to have some kind of nook dedicated for reading. I take a bath most nights and read a print book then and then an audio book when I’m doing housework or driving. Right now I guess my ritual is just cramming reading in where ever I can but I’d like that to settle down a bit and be able to really revel in my reading time.
I have a Sheldon spot on my couch. I blog there, I read there, I watch TV there. It’s like your bedroom, but probably worse when it comes to being lazy ;).
I am the same way as you, my room is my “safe place”. I always read in bed too! Every night, when I am done blogging, I eat hummus and watch TV (generally The 100, let’s be real) and then read until way, way too late 😂 And I always read my Kindle first, then my physical book. I have no idea why hahah.
I read in bed often before I go to sleep. Sometimes if I’m feeling adventurous or wanting to spend time with my husband I read on the couch.

I’m more of a read-in-any-spare-moment person than a ritual one. Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!
