Great reads for Christmas. Win over £500 worth of amazing books!

Definitely tucked up in bed with pillows and duvet, cup of tea on hand. No better place. I can read anywhere and everywhere but do enjoy the comfort of being curled up in a large armchair surrounded by cushions, by a fire in winter and looking out into the garden in warm weather.

In the winter, curled up on sofa with a glass of red, and maybe a little chocolate, in front of an open fire.
In summer, I used to love to sit outside, in a park and read.

Recently, I started reading in bed again.
I say recently because until a few months ago my husband's snoring was disturbing my sleep almost nightly. So why didn't I switch on the light and read the latest crime thriller?.
Well apart from the fact that I may have hit him over the head with the book, he complained he couldn't sleep with the light on! Then one day he said that my tossing and turning was waking him up and he decided to try sleeping in the guest room. He has continued to do this as he says he gets a much better nights sleep!
I just smile and say nothing as I close the bedroom door behind him because now I can curl up with my duvet and loads of pillows and just read..............

We've created a cosy place especially for enjoying reading, we have loads of bookshelves, a comfy sofa with cushions or 2 chairs to choose from plus reading lamps behind them so that the light is perfect. With the heater on and a blanket to snuggle under and a glass of wine on the little table at the side its finally the perfect set up!

Has to be on my bed with my dogs snuggled close by! One is a Great Dane, Blue, the other a Maltese Poodle, Trogg. My Little and Large! Once comfortably settled I can immerse myself in my books totally unbothered by their snoring!

I love to read in the bath , trouble is this means I take over the bathroom for hours and endless top ups of water mean there's no hot water left for anyone else , in the summer I read in the garden on my sunlounger with a glass of pimms

on the reclining sofa next to the radiator with dog curled up beside me

In summer I prefer a deckchair in the garden (as long as the sun is shining). In winter it's on the chair I inherited from my grandmother (they knew how to make comfortable chairs back then).

When I was working, I used to love to read on my 40 minutes commute into work and then the same on my way home. My wife despaired to see me reading at home, when she could find me some job to keep me occupied. Nowadays, I carry a book with me and snatch a few minutes in places like doctors waiting rooms, or a longer session when I catch a bus to a nearby town to volunteer as a computer mentor at the local carers centre. I still prefer the feel of a real book rather than a tablet for my reading, and always donate them to a charity shop afterwards.

My favourite place to read? Is anywhere at anytime!

Curled up in bed where it is quiet leaving hubby to watch his football/sport downstairs.

In the winter I curl up on the sofa in the daytime or early evening and snuggle in bed at night for bedtime reading. Every now and then we visit my better half''s family cottage in Wales, and there I curl up on a rug in front of their woodburning stove and read by gas-light and/or candlelight - it's very oldy-worldy and isolated and I love the peace & quiet!

At this time of year snuggled up in my favourite armchair with my furry lined boot slippers on (feet get cold!), cushion behind my back, drink at the side and dog (and hubby) asleep!
Wouldn't it be absolute heaven to get all these books

My favourite place to read is in a sunny place in the garden sheltered from the wind. As I live in the North East of Scotland I don't get many opportunities. Its usually too cold even in the summer.

My favourite place is curled up in bed!!

I love reading in my shed at the end of the garden, especially if the rain is drumming on the roof.

My favourite place to curl up with a good book is bed! Under a goose down duvet with a soft fluffy pillow with the lamp angled just right and with a room temperature that's not too hot so you need to snuggle down! My idea of heaven!

Reading whilst relaxing on holiday, whether it is a country cottage or on a beach.

I am coming out of a difficult period of my life. Before this, reading was an immense part of my life but during the difficult period my concentration went completely and I just couldn't read. Now I'm just beginning to be able to read again and am now confident that it can be as important as it was before.

Sorry pressed post before I'd finished. So now I hope to get back to reading anywhere. I used to have one book in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom.

Through the dark Winter months, I love to read in my warm and well lit sitting room, curled up on my leather chair in the corner, completely lost in a good book.

I like to read on lying on the sofa, in the loo, in bed, sitting outside, waiting for appointments, on holiday, at work. I love reading so much I will do it anywhere!

Anywhere hot - either in front of a roaring fire in winter or on a beach in a comfortable chair in the sun. I was once so engrossed in a book on a beach in Australia I didn't notice my husband & nephew running off to rescue a man in difficulties in the surf & coming back again.
