Where is your favourite place to read?
My favourite place to read is any place where no one is talking to me. It’s like an evil spell: I pick up a book or my Kindle, and someone (like a family member) starts talking to me. They’re usually talking about something I either know nothing about (sports), or something I don’t want to know anything about (politics).
If it’s a fine summer’s day, I enjoy reading outside in the sun—either in my back garden, or at the beach. I think it’s the combination of nature and words which makes this relaxing. Sometimes the cat will join me, but not for long—she’s black, and gets too hot.
My favourite place to read in the evening or in winter is in my chair in the lounge. I can see the TV, but it’s to the side which makes it easy to ignore if my husband is watching something I’m not interested in. And it’s right beside the fire, which makes for cozy winter evenings.
I like outside if there is a cool breeze and no mosquitoes. In a hammock or under a tree.
Or in a comfy chair with my feet up.
