Hi Maria, you actually had me looking up Redford’s movie & using my computer calculator.( funny)
You can always start new reading rituals or one day recapture the ones from your high school years.
Thanks for sharing, did I hear Starbuck’s: I’ll have a vanilla bean frapuccino please.(yum)

I had my reading rituals when I was in high school (do not want to give my age away, but I graduated the year Robert Redford directed the film Ordinary People, a novel by Judith Guest)., so if anyone out there is a big reader, might guess my age.
Today, I am guilty of not reading, but my favorite is romance novels.
I definitely enjoy reading with a good cup of Starbucks coffee…LOL

Ok…my reading ritual…to be honest w/you the only sequal I have been into is Twilight. I’m not a big reader…due to the fact that I am still in school so what I read is b/cuz I have to…lol.
Well I love to read my Twilight in bed right before I go to sleep. I get into my comfy pajamas (in the winter…I were my heavy duty froggy socks…it’s so cold here in Kansas), a glass of hot choclate milk, grab my 4 legged pooch and head for the bed (while the hubby is playing x-box 360). This is my alone time.
I snuggle up w/the pooch and begin reading…until I start falling asleep. It relaxes me at night =)
I know it’s not a big ritual like the rest of you big readers, but it’s something. thx for reading!!!

My daily escape involves a hot bath with aromatherapy & chromatherapy using LUSH products, a good book and cup of coffee or hot tea.

Susan, my cup is in the air!

Keira, have you tried the Henri Bendel vanilla bean candles? They smell wonderful.

I’m currently reading one of Katiebabs, Jenna D., and Ann Aguirre’s favorites: Courting Miss Hattie. I’m to watch out for Peaches (pg 212 I’m told!) and be wary of the smoochy-smooch (which is as icky as it sounds).

I like your reading rituals Keira; I’m still not daring enough to carry a book into the bathroom though. My books are sacred. (LOL)
I love rereads, my favs are “Counter-Parry” by Freda Michel copyright 1977 & the “Count of Monte Cristo” by A. Dumas.

I have a couple of reading rituals.

My most prominent one is curling up in bed under two fuzzy blankets at night with a light on so I can read my latest TBR, occasionally a reread, sometimes an ARC.

I usually stay awake until sometime after midnight, but never later than 2 AM.

If I’m not in bed reading, I’m in the bathtub taking a soak and enjoying dozens of scented bubbles, potentially candles too, but most likely just the bubbles. I stay in for hours, letting cold water out and hot water in and I don’t get out until I’m all pruney and waterlogged.

But hopefully not my books! lol
