I think my parents laughed at me more than scolded me but I was too ashamed to ever do it again ... until I didn't have a bedtime. ;) I confess to not hearing my children calling me because I'm lost in the 18th century somewhere with a woman desparately in love, but without a hope of getting his attention! Oh, and I've done the reading at night in the car thing too. And on long road trips, when I was supposed to get OUT of the car for a break, but just couldn't put the book down. But, what's a girl to do with a good book in her grip? :)Amanda Deedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430837640142332983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-75811575188943291612012-12-06T06:54:18.516+10:002012-12-06T06:54:18.516+10:00Hi Dale, nice confessions!

I have also been known to be be stirring something on the stove with a book in the other hand or up at 2 or 3am reading. And I always take a book into the bath with me. Why I like baths rather than showers. Hard to read a book in a shower.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217918666756258037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-40767355972956697152012-12-05T19:31:28.573+10:002012-12-05T19:31:28.573+10:00Hi Carol, I love the idea of going to an appointme...Hi Carol, I love the idea of going to an appointment early with a good book to pass the time.

I was a first born - one of those good girls who read all the required academic books. But as an adult I confess... I developed the habit many years ago of going early to appointments at doctors, dentists etc, and to pick up the children, then grandchildren from school, so that I could have some quiet time in the car or waiting room to read whatever novel I was into. That doesn't mean that I don't spend many a night into the wee hours of the morning in bed, doing the same.

I also have the reputation of always having had my nose in a book when I was young. I've sometimes considered myself to be a binge reader. I must know how a good story ends.<br />Incidentally, I own both Mary Jones & her Bible and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. That was the first Anne Tyler book I'd read, and then I searched for more.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
