My reading has slowed down such a lot the latter part of the year, like you I have been watching podcasts before going to sleep, it's a habit I want to get out of too!<br />Why don't you join Goodreads? You can keep a record of everything you have read or are reading much easier. Look for me there if you join. xMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260573198415697938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-48964943657115940412018-12-30T13:24:38.742+00:002018-12-30T13:24:38.742+00:00I can imagine.

My mum always kept a book marked a to z and she wrote all the books she'd read in there under the author's name. She was a prolific reader and could never remember which books she'd read and which she hadn't so it was helpful to her. She's suffering from dementia now so the only reading she does is the newspaper, she'll read a small paragraph over and over again because she just doesn't remember what she's already read, it's very sad.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-89159807076871880072018-12-30T11:16:39.104+00:002018-12-30T11:16:39.104+00:00I read very little during the day, most of my read...I read very little during the day, most of my reading is done in bed before I go to sleep or if I wake up during the night, which happens some times more than others.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite but am very guilty if taking the ipad to bed and then being distracted by blogs etc. I have a huge backlog of books on my kindle and am not downloading any more until I clear some.

Mick bought me an iPad for my birthday but it's much heavier than the Kindle so I still prefer to read on that. I still use my laptop for most internet based things but the iPad is brilliant for watching podcasts and great if I just want to look at something on the internet without having to go through the rigmarole of turning on my laptop. I've never listened to an audio book but I should give them a try as I hear so many people say how much they enjoy them.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-20651344224175505142018-12-28T11:39:14.191+00:002018-12-28T11:39:14.191+00:00I have a Kindle, but it's the original just fo...I have a Kindle, but it's the original just for reading type. John offered to buy me one of the computer type ones, but I said I'd never read if I got one of those. I have my laptop for internetty stuff and a tablet for my JW.org and that's enough for me. All my Kindle downloads are free, chosen from the classics ( I'm currently re-reading Vanity Fair ) John likes to get audio books from the library. I do enjoy reading and studying.
