Books and Good Wine is making a 15 day blogger challenge, it sounds like a fun
way for book bloggers to get to know each other so I jumped the train.
Today’s
challenge is reading bedtime rituals:
Well I
have a few rules when my reading time is really close to well… my bedtime.
First
if there are less than a 100 pages left from the book, then I will wait until
morning comes or else I will be up all night!! I always say that I can stop but
we all know that is a big fat lie.
If this
is a Horror/Sad story then I will not read it at night, I don’t like the idea
of going to sleep sad or scared to death.
I hate
finishing a book really close to bedtime because sometimes you get what I call
book withdrawal symptoms which may include insomnia.
Other than that I read until I am tired which
is easier this days as my glasses are being repaired.
Before I met my husband, I wouldn't read scary books at night at all either. I once made the mistake of reading some book by John Farris that had me up all night with every single light in my house on and I was STILL to scared to go to the bathroom until morning. I don't read that kind of super scary horror at all now.
ReplyDeleteI always screw up my glasses reading in bed when I try to lay down with them still on. :P

I can't read scary stuff at night either or I get nightmares, which are NOT cool. I can however read really sad books but then I'm bawling and I wake up with puffy eyes and a headache. Sometimes it is worth it though, like with Code Name Verity, haha!
ReplyDeletehahahaha I am scared about scary books like you I don't like to have nightmares, strangely enough I'm ok with scary movies.
ReplyDeleteI just happens right? you forget that you have your glasses on until you go into a reading position where they bother you =/
ReplyDeletewell at least now you have your hubbie in case that you get scared in the middle of reading a good book :)
