Booking Through Thursday: Carrier

I haven't participated in BTT for quite a while. But this week's topic is an interesting one. Deb asks:
Do you carry a book around with you? Inside the house? Whenever you go out? Always, everywhere, it’s practically glued to your fingers? 
(And yes, digital books very much DO count as long as you’re spending time reading on your Kindle or iPad and not just loading them with books that you never actually read.) 
Well, I don't exactly carry a book around with me when I'm at home -- but I'm never very far from one. I usually have books piled up on the coffee table and on my bedside table, since those are the two places I generally do most of my reading (I keep my iPad in one of those places, too). So I don't really need to carry them with me; they're just there.

Now when I go out -- that's another thing. I don't always have a "real" book with me when I'm out and about; but I do have the Kindle app on my iPhone, so I'm never without something to read. Until the battery needs recharging, anyway.

  1. Pretty much the same here :) I also listen to audio books a lot.

    1. I'm definitely curious about audio books. I have mild tinnitus in both ears, and don't do well with earphones (or "buds"). Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading/listening!

  2. I enjoy reading and have two or three on hand. However, I do not carry them around with me. I like to hold a book in my hand instead of a kindle.

    1. I really prefer "real" books, too. Just something about the whole experience of paper instead of electronic gadget. But I find I do read faster when I'm using an e-reader -- which seems very strange. Thanks for the visit!

  3. You make a good point of not needing to carry a book around the house. :-) I sometimes do that, but as long as I have one nearby, I'm good.

    1. Yes, around here it's very hard to get AWAY from books! I think we have them in every room except the bathrooms (and sometimes there, too). Happy reading and thanks for visiting.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
