This has been a good and rough week for me: I had a big closing yesterday but have been saddened with my Dad in the hospital and not making much progress. I am late posting tonight as I had dinner with my sister and Stepmom. We had a nice time and it was a good break for Stepmom after her stressful week and worries about Dad.
Thank you to all who shared last week.
Those were fun questions. Seven commenters used only print books while traveling; Six people use both print books and ereaders; some use audio and 3 used only ereaders. Birgit is the only one who doesn't read while traveling. (Does that make her the odd ball? Lol)
Radio Clocks edged out cell phone by a nose with a count of 5 for radio clocks and 4 for cell phones. Others had a variety of methods including a mother (Krystal) and a three year old (Abby).

A: I go to sleep listening to either my Kindle or an audio book on MP3. I usually wake up and start reading before I get out of bed. And yes, if I wake up in the middle of the night I am likely to grab a book for the bathroom break and or a few minutes before I go back to sleep! :-)

Hi, Ms Oddball here *lol*.
ReplyDelete1. My first username is (more or less) my current one too - danaan (derived from Irish mythology). It still reflects in my e-mail addy (though I do have "normal" e-mail addys too) and I also still use it for a selected few websites on which I signed up.
2. I don't think I have which only goes to show that the books I read are never boring!
1. My very first user name was & is Marybelle. It's a nickname my best friend gave me years ago & it stuck.
ReplyDelete2. I sometimes do fall asleep with a book, but I'm usually aware enough to put it to one side & then go to sleep properly. I don't pick it up in the night or first thing.
Congrats winners.
ReplyDeleteMy very first user name 10 years ago was a variation of my email. It was Lucky47.
I never get in bed without a book. I always fall asleep with a book.I have never woke up in the middle of the night and started reading though. While waiting for coffee in morning I'm already reading.

1. My first username, and current user name was/is rickimc My dad created it for me when we first got the Internet when I was in high school.
ReplyDelete2. I cannot go to sleep without reading first, but I don't think I have ever fallen asleep with the book still in my hand.
2. Yes, yes and yes! My fav time to read is at night, in bed & I can't remember the number of times I've fallen asleep reading being too reluctant to put the book down. My wear glasses & once I rolled over them & woke up with a pair of badly dented glasses. My family was quite amused. I've since learnt to be more careful! I don't usually wake up in the middle of the night to read, I tend to sleep through the night but I do wake up & pick up a book 1st thing.

My first user name was given by AOL...lkish77123. I still use it for emails. It's just easy since I've had it for 25+ years.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I read just before I go to sleep but not always. I never wake up during the night and when I wake up in the morning, I read my emails first.

1. yes
ReplyDelete2. yes, I might fall asleep with a book.
1. My first username was just my name like it is now.
ReplyDelete2. I always read before I go to sleep, but I have never fallen asleep while reading.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I think my first username was Jane. I have never fallen asleep while reading a book.
ReplyDeleteMy first username was luv_sarah. I've since retired it for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI never read in bed, so don't fall asleep while reading. I know too many people who have trained themselves that reading=sleeping, and don't want that to happen to me.
1. Llehn is my first user name.
ReplyDelete2. No, I have never fallen asleep while reading a book.
1. My first username was wcs53, which I still use. My first job was as a postman in the UK and I had to endorse undeliverable mail with my initials (wcs) and security badge number (53). When I started using computers I was so used to the 'wcs53' that it seemed like a natural thing to continue with.
ReplyDelete2. At least two or three times a week I wake up on the couch at 2 or 3 in the morning with a book half open on my chest or beside me. Sometimes the book falling on the floor wakens me up.
1. My first user name was a combination of my first and last name.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I've fallen asleep while reading. :)
1) Icecream1891
ReplyDelete2. Nope!
1. Maggie Starr
ReplyDelete2. Wake up with a book!

1. abysinnian I think? Because I like cats?? LOL
