Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying with it.
Today I'll discuss one of my reading habits.
Being sick this month left me with a lot of reading time as I would read before taking a nap or before going to bed early each night. Though the reading challenge log won't show it because I re-read books multiple times while being sick, I read a lot. A lot a lot.
I find reading helps relax me and get my mind set for bed - unless I'm taking cold medicines, then reading will just contribute to crazy ass dreams loosely linked to the book I was reading before I fell asleep. And it's the easy to read books which help more - because then I don't actually have to think about what I'm reading to actively understand what I'm reading which in turn activates my brain more which prevents sleep.
Of course, it's also the family tradition that reading makes us fall asleep. True for my mom. True for my dad. And true for my son who's only 14 and often falls asleep face down in his books.
What's one of your regular reading habits?
