I love to read in bed with the radio playing music softly, the best way to relax.

Snuggled up in bed

I read in bed every night to wind my brain down from the day!

When I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, there is nothing better than a good read and a cup of tea.
Trouble is, most times I get so engrossed, I read until I have to get up!

After a long and tiring day, I like to curl up in bed and read for at least half hour. I find it really relaxing and it helps me sleep better.

The sky is always blue, the vivid pink bougenvillia arches overhead, the yellow wall of the Arabic house is next to the out door settee and the call to prayer echoes over the garden. My favourite place to read is in my son's garden in Qatar where the warmth seeps into your bones and it is so relaxing that any book becomes a joy to read.

Like so many of my fellow Gransnetters, it's bed for me too.
Whether it's snuggling up under the duvet with a good read to fall asleep by.....or going back to bed with a hot drink on a morning like today, listening to the wind and the rain and feeling so glad not to have to get up!

I would love to say that it's in a window seat overlooking extensive manicured gardens a la Pride and Prejudice. In reality it's snuggled up under a blanket on my very comfortable sofa, which is almost as good!

I seem to do most of my reading on the loo or at the kitchen table these days.
Where would I like to read?Under a tree, in the month of June, looking forward to the rest of summer!

I like to read when sitting on the sofa - or even better, outside in the garden on a lovely summer's day!

On the sofa when DH is watching football or (worse) wrestling! I'll read anywhere though!!

In bed in the morning before anyone else wakes up

I usually sit in my conservatory to read, catching a few rays whilst enjoying a bit of peace and quiet.

I read anywhere anytime but my favorite place to read is definitely in the bath with a glass of wine - fab!

My favourite place to read is in bed - I have never gone to sleep without reading at least a few pages of a book and I could never imagine having to do so!

My favorite place is on the wooden bench at at the top of Bedfords Park. A seat with a view that spans East London from a high. My Cocker Spaniel happily lying at the side of the bench prior to the long walk home.

rjs19561I didn't realise Bedfords Park still existed - I thought it had been replaced by Hainault Country Park. Are the deer still there?

I always got through a lot of books when I was working because I'd read on the tube to and from work. Nowadays I'm most likely to read on the over round train journey to Colchester when I visit my mum. I find it difficult to relax and read at home.

Curled up on my settee with a huge cup of tea.

In bed for sure! Snuggled in my dressing gown and under the duvet!

I prefer reading in bed where it's comfy. Hardbacks are difficult to read this way but mainly I manage.

My favourite place to read is in bed, in fact it is the only place where I have time to myself with no feelings of guilt for doing something which is just for me!

In my conservatory curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and the cat on a warm, sunny day.

If it's sunny I like to sit by the lake to read with a flask of coffee but if it's raining I sit in my favourite café with a cup of coffee.

I've had a brand new fire installed this summer ...with the settee pulled close there's no better place to read ( and to snooze afterwards ).
