No, just one to read while taking a bubble bath.

Nope, just one book on the window sill & a magazine rack.

I don't read in the bathroom so I don't think I can keep a book rack there but I'm wondering for those that do it, won't the books het bad? Is it good for the book?

Lol! A bookshelf in the bathroom? That's such an odd idea. It's not even safe for the books. But I understand why someone would consider it. Once I'm engrossed in a book, it goes everywhere with me; even the toilet.

I do not read in the bathroom, not even from my phone, so no.

I have space under the sink in the vanity cabinet. I have received as gifts several "Uncle John's Bathroom Readers" collections of short anecdotes, facts and general silliness. They are stocked under the sink with several trivia books. This way even non-readers have something to look at (although no one except me knows they are there.)

No, and I would never. I have dealt with enough bacteria to know exactly what is crawling in the bathroom.

No. My husband tries to sneak books in but I think it’s hugely unhygienic so I intercept him on the way in!

Sadly, no. But this would be such a great idea!

I have never thought of this....but no I have no need to do this as i've never in the bathroom long enough to justify reading in there! Plus the bacteria, the steam, it wouldn't be good for the books
