I love a good book and I love a good soak in the tub, so combining the two is sheer bliss. I always have at least a half-hour reading sesh in the bath every night. More often than not it's longer than that and I've been known to stay in the tub, getting all pruny and topping up the hot water for anything up to 3 hours if I'm really getting into a book!

 

I also adore sitting out with a book on sunny days - there's a nice grassy bank right near our flats (you can see it from our kitchen window) and it's nice to spread out on a mat there and lose myself in a book.

 

Other than that, curled up in bed or on the sofa is good with a book too! And each day at work, I read over my lunch period - I just stick myself in the corner and dive in...

My favourite place is curled up on the settee. I will occassionally read in bed. Everyday I plonk myself in the corner of the staff restaurant and lock myself away in my own world for half an hour. This is the only time of the working day that I have to myself.

Curled up on my bed with loads of pillows and my boys asleep at my feet, or best of all lounging on the sofa when everybody else is out of the house, no tv no radio just me and a book...bliss

I like sitting outside (weather permitting!) and also reading in bed but unfortunately these days I tend to fall asleep after a coule of pages. :smile2:

I also forgot to say that during the summer or whenever the weather is good enough, I go across to the park in my lunch hour and sit on one of the beaches and read.

 

I used to read in the bath when I was younger, but I prefer showers now so reading's not really an option. LOL

I love it when it is warm enough to sit out in the garden and read - not done that so much this summer, also I like to sit in a chair near the window where there is plenty of light and I read in bed for half an hour or so before going to sleep:)

Either early in the morning in bed (night time a no, no as I fall asleep too easily) or in the corner of our L shaped settee in the conservatory (in the sun on a good day). I also read in the staff room at work - we tend to lunch on our own as we cover each other.

On the couch in the living room, with a glass of juice or something next to me at all times, sometimes with a blanket. I will often end up falling asleep, though...my boyfriend calls it my nap couch!:smile2:

We have some Indian wicker short stools called moda. I have one in my home office near the radiator. I like to sit on it with my legs stretched out in front and read, leaning back against the radiator, enjoying the cool metal on hot days and vice versa.

Seeing as I have a young baby, anywhere I can is my fave place!

 

I read a couple of pages in the bath in the morning, but I have to get Katie up so I make sure I stop. I feel good if I get that couple in. Otherwise, it is anywhere during the day, which depends largely on Katie. At night I read in bed and OH comes up sometimes and moves my book off his pillow to get in bed. I think my favourite place at the moment is the car, as that is where I can truly get away from Katie long enough to read properly.

It's so hard with little ones - I didn't read much for years when mine were young - I'm making up for lost time now!:smile2:

My newly redecorated study has the nices, softest sofas I've ever seen, so they're one of my favourite place. Then there's the old armchair in my bedroom, which I found from a flea market in Paris and had ... what's the word, I blacked out... reupholstered?... It's big enough for me to curl up in it, and I really like the calming yet warm colours in my bedroom (white and dark brown) so that's one of my favourites. When the chair is not covered in cast-off clothes and handbags, that it.

 

I forgot to add the hammock at my BF's parents' summer place. It's big enough for two and therefore fits pillows and a throw. I just usually fall asleep there.

It has to be the bed for me, I love to curl up and read there. I also read in the bath, on the sofa, on the bus, work canteen (because they banned books at desks :smile2: )..... anywhere I can really.

Why have they banned books at your desk?

I have a leather chair that goes back and the bottom slides out a little so your half laying, combined with the foot stool, its the best chair i have ever personally owned. That is where my reading is done* as its comfy and after sitting on it for about 5-10 min it gets nice and warm but not so warm its uncomfy, i love that chair!

 

* Unless its comics, as i do sometimes enjoy going outside and enjoying the sun with a comic (i dunno why, i generally hate the sun but put a comic in my hand and im there :s)

We have one of those Beef, unfortunately, it is in the corner in front of the window, as we have far too much furniture and junk. The front room is one of the rooms I have managed to keep fairly junk free. it doesn't lok too bad, but it is still a mess.
