Reading Routines

I was intrigued by jessethereader’s I Tried Booktuber’s [sic] Reading Routines! video and decided that I should share my own routine!

  • I have moved to reading almost entirely via ebook and audiobook.
  • I read on the Kindle Paperwhite.
  • Nearly all of my books – both ebook and audiobook formats – are checked out through the library, specifically the Libby app from OverDrive (headquartered in the Cleveland area!)
    • Fun Fact: my library has been offering eBooks through OverDrive since 2002!
  • I generally read two books at the same time – one as an ebook and one as an audiobook.
  • I read the ebook before bed – sometimes in the morning when I’m eating breakfast or over my lunch break if it’s really intriguing!
  • I listen to audiobooks at 1.5x to 1.75x speed.
  • I listen to audiobooks on my commute, which is a 10-minute walk each way. I come home for lunch, so that’s about 40 minutes of listening a day!
  • I also listen to audiobooks in the car (when I’m driving by myself) and sometimes while washing dishes, cooking, doing chores, and knitting too!
