But he&#8217;s one of those people that must be reading while he counts the scoops of coffee in the morning or exchanges the battery of his Fitbit or ties his shoelaces, because that list he posted on Facebook a few years ago was a mile long! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there is me. I actually mention reading as a hobby in profiles. But I don&#8217;t make time for it often enough. I love to read at night and I have paperback books on my nightstand. But all too often I&#8217;m too tired when I get to bed or I prefer to unwind with a game on my phone. I currently have a FBI suspense thriller by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/1239.Catherine_Coulter?from_search=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Catherine Coulter (opens in a new tab)\">Catherine Coulter<\/a> and a few fantasy books there (Dragonlance series), waiting to be devoured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another time I love to read, digitally on my phone, is when I&#8217;m walking on my treadmill. But I haven&#8217;t been doing that in a while *shame* and I miss my e-books! I&#8217;m currently re-reading <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jean M.
