Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
This week’s prompt:
All things being equal, of course, but tell us, do you have a favorite time of day to read? If you had an entire day (or week) to choose when to read, when would you do so?
Do you have a favorite time of day to read?
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.
Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.
P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

All things being equal, I still think reading in the evenings is the best, after the business and busyness of the day is over, there’s nowhere you need to go and nothing you need to do. The only downside is after the business and busyness of the day, I’m not always awake enough to read for as long as I would like to.
Bingo! Me, too. I like the feeling that nothing will interrupt me and I can just enjoy the reading experience.
That said, I also like to read when I’m doing something boring — drying my hair or slathering on lotion, a necessary but vexsome task — or when I’m eating or enjoying coffee at my desk. This latter preference has the unfortunate effect of requiring that the food or drink last as long as my interest in reading, and it frequently leads to some excesses which I have to moderate later.
