This week on Booking through Thursday:
Do you bring the book(s) you’re reading with you when you go out? How? Physically, or in an e-reader of some kind? Have your habits in this regard changed? (I know I carried books with me more when I was in school than I do now–I can’t read while I’m driving to work, after all.)
I think I carry books with me more now than I use to because for a long time, I couldn’t really read on moving vehicles. I still prefer not read when in transport be honest. Also, books are heavy. Even though I carry adequate bags, when I go out, it’s usually to go out, walk around, spend time socially, etc. Unless the book is a paperback, I don’t really want to carry it. I also seem to like big books. I am working at the moment so I bring my Kindle with me to work in the event things get super slow (like it was in the summer). I really like the ebook reader for that reason and it’s good to have it there just for the event that I’ll need to wait.
How about you?
Kindles are definitely handy when reading a big book…I remembering downloading some hefty books on it when I first got mine. Much easier to carry around.
Here’s MY BTT POST
Hi Laurel! Indeed it is! I love that I can place dozens of books on there and it’s no space at all. I still prefer paper though, but no denying an ebook reader is handy! Thanks.
I to prefer a physical book but the kindles are more convenient when on the go.

Hi Tribute Books Mama! I got my Kindle in the event that I move again. I use to have to give up books for that reason, but not with the Kindle. Thanks! 🙂
LOL, yes, I seem to like big books too. They can be tough to carry.

Hi Valentina! There is a bag for girls like us! Thanks and they are tough to carry. I do love books though. Thanks!
The kindle makes it a lot easier.

Book or newspaper or Kindle is essential for subway or plane transport. I guess any or all three are fine with me. Just need a backpack!
Hi Susan! Yes, I’ve read on planes too, but I do like watching movies on them slightly more. For some reason, I don’t really enjoy reading in transport as much. Backpacks are handy though! Thanks!
I rarely go out without something to read just in case I end up in a queue or waiting for a long time. Now I have a kindle this is so much easier as I can carry a large choice of reading around with me, with very little weight!
Hi Jessica! This exactly why I carry my Kindle around too. You never know when you need a book on the go! Thanks!
