I love reading as I go for a walk

I read books in bed!

As an adult, I read on trains going to and from work, and when I went on holiday. Now I'm retired, so I don't travel for work, but travel more for leisure; I still read away from home, but I find ebooks much easier to carry so they have taken over for this purpose.

But real books I like reading in bed, as I did when I was a child, but didn't have much opportunity for during my working life.

Laying in a hot bubbly bath, with scented candles, a glass of wine and a good book - sooo relaxing!

I always read in bed - every night, but I can read anywhere, any time. The only place I can't read is in the car (not when I'm driving of course!) I love to curl up somewhere warm with the latest book I've found - from a variety of authors. But my fav place to read has to be on the balcony of a cabin on a cruise ship on a sea day. Peace, quiet, looking out over the sea, but with drinks and food to hand without me having to make it!

Curled up on my sofa with a cup of coffee or on my allotment sitting on a bear chair soaking up the rays.

Wow. What an amazing assortment of books. Where is my favourite place to read? Well, at this time of the year, it is curled up in my chair beside our Rayburn, keeping snug in the kitchen. Nothing like it on a cold dark afternoon, looking out at the countryside as the light fades away. No leaves on the trees and often blowing a gale here at Windy Ridge. My favourite indulgence. :-)

Welcome to all new members

My favourite place to read is on our verriere especially when it is pouring with rain and blowing a gale. It's as though I am in the elements but still cosy and warm - bliss.

In the winter snug in my bed but in the summer in my hammock out in the garden.....

In bed, snuggled under the duvet with a cup of tea.

I love to read in/on the bed as my bedroom is lovely and light.

Well bed features prominently for me too. A sun bed, also on a Greek island beach, sipping a white wine spritzer (with frozen grapes instead of ice cubes) Or in my own comfy bed with some of my husband's crackers and cheese with a nice glass of port.
You'll notice alcohol features in both!

on the landing.. please don't ask why I have no idea. I often find myself sitting on the floor with a book there though.

But only if no-one else is in the house or I'd have to move every time someone went up or down the stairs.

In the conservatory curled up in a chair.

Favourite places to read include on buses, in bed and on the beach! Just wish I got more opportunity!

Curled up on the sofa, in front of a roaring fire - in the winter that is, don't need the fire in the summer, usually.

My favourite place to read is tucked up warm in bed.

I love reading in my conservatory where it's peaceful and nice and light. Plus I can always pause to look up and watch the birds in the garden.

As well as reading at home in all the usual comfortable places, we are still lucky enough to have a local library which is an old comfortable warm building I love to sit there along with other fellow readers.

In bed or in the oh so comfortable rocking chair in the dining room. What an enormous list though!! I am going to make a note of then all in case I don't win!!

My favourite place to read is in bed. A few chapters before I go to sleep.

In the garden in summer, and tucked up in bed in the winter.

On a balcony anywhere warm and sunny with the sound of the waves lapping on the shore. Failing that I like reading curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea by my side.

At this timeof year I like lounging on the couch, along with a coffee & some sweets. It reminds me how my Mum, sister and me spent every rainy Saturday afternoon after our visit to the library in the morning

Ooh, snuggled up on the sofa in front of the fire, cup of tea and peace - that's in the winter, in the summer, by a pool with a glass of vino - preferably in Menorca with the family (they will be on the beach) peace and my sort of heaven - so long as it's a good book in both cases!

I like to read in bed but my favourite place is on the beach in Barbados, especially at approx. 11am when the sorbet comes round!
