Do you have one?

Mine is on the sofa, window open to let in a warm breeze, with some music playing very quietly in the background.

Anywhere where I can grab five minutes peace and quiet!

However, for me it has to be in bed in the evening, house still and quiet, phone on "Do not disturb" - read until my eyes start to close.....perfect end to the day!

In the bath
Only place I don't get disturbed

I really enjoy reading on the train, I have an hour commute to and from college so that's where I do most of my reading. I second yours, a good book and a comfy chair next to an open window on a sunny day with a coffee is lovely Smile

In bed or in the bath.

In the bath

But if you read in the bath, presumably you can only read books that you won't mind getting soggy!

They don't get soggy...why would they get soggy? Confused unless you're reading underwater Grin

I persuaded DH to turn a small room we have downstairs into a library, its where we have all our books, fiction, non fiction, research books etc in, plus some knick knacks. I LOVE the room but I love it even more now i have a (maternity) rocker in it and can easily lose myself in a book for a few hours if left alone Smile

FuckingFattyBitch · 02/06/2016 21:52

gotta Envy I would love love love a library.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 02/06/2016 21:57

It has to be in bed. Well the beach is great but I often get disturbed, so yes, bed for me Smile

Has to be the garden. Cup of tea, cushions on the step to make a seat and relax.... (We do have proper garden furniture but I prefer the step).

In winter - feet up on the sofa by the front window.

A room just for reading in...wow! So envious.

Bath and bed. I love the idea of reading in the park, curled up/lying on the grass under a tree but the reality tends to be bugs, uncomfortable ground and needing a wee Grin.

JamieVardysParty · 21/06/2016 16:34

Agree, bath or bed. Although we have a really comfy L shaped sofa that I occasionally read on.

Debating getting a sun lounger for our patio. We live in a small flat but have a little outdoor shared space, so may turn this into my Kindle area.

In bed, especially in the morning when I don't need to get up in a hurry.
Also in my special 'reading chair' which nobody else ever sits in.

Before we got married DH's house had stairs going up from his living room with a perfect bend in them. Very soft carpet, I could sit there for hours. We now have a bend in our stairs but it isn't the same Sad
