#WhenYouRead #GettingToKnowYou

📚 I stop anywhere when life interrupts or I am sleepy.
📚Read anytime, anywhere, but always in bed before I fall asleep at night.
📚 Cannot compete with TV. Quiet at night before sleep required! Generally Can hyper focus,then talk around me recedes to a murmur.(definitely related to growing up with 7 sibs & always sharing bedroom with 1 or 2 sisters, etc.) enjoy reading on porch to bird song.

Love this photo!

I like to stop at the end of a chapter or a break in the page/scene.
I will read any time and hate to be caught with time on my hands without a book.
I don‘t need quiet, but I get interrupted by people talking to me. My sister reads but her attention span is short and then she starts to talk. I guess I prefer to read alone. It must be the introvert in me! 🤣
