In Public

Do you carry books with you when you’re out and about in the world?

And, do you ever try to hide the covers?

Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    I love reading, but don’t really tend to read in public, not because I wouldn’t, just because it never seems to fit in to my schedule. I don’t hide books though, I’m proud to be a reader. I do read sometimes on the phone now, although I miss the smell of books!

    There are some books I’m embarrased to be seen reading in public but most of the time it doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind strangers seeing me read chick lit but I cringe at the thought of my friends catching me!

    I wrote a post about being embarrased by books here: http://manchestermeanders.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/book-swap-guilt/

    No need to hide these books! Proud reading, even outside! Here’s my BTT today.

    I take ALL my books with me… on my ereader. It’s so simple and easy. Now I don’t have to stuff my backpack full with paperbacks. What convenience! What brilliance. Ebooks all the way!
