This week’s theme is a Holiday Gift Guide freebie, and honestly, I’m a little tired of wracking my brains to think of gifts. So instead, have my top ten places to read.
- On a train. You wouldn’t think it’d be comfortable, but something about just being stuck on a train for ages means I can settle into the reading mood and carry on interrupted. Especially in the quiet coach, with my phone off, or on the Eurostar.
- In bed. Of course. This is mostly with my ereader, because I can never quite get comfortable with a paper book in bed. Toasty warm toes!
- With my back against the radiator. I don’t know why, but I really like having a heat source at my back while I read. If the whole room is too warm, I get sleepy. If the room is cooler but I have a radiator or a hot water bottle? Perfect.
- With the rain lashing down outside. Doesn’t everybody love this one?
- Draped over my chair in my wife’s flat. With a bit of wriggling, you can get into the perfect comfy position with a leg up. Or even with my feet practically in my wife’s lap. She’s resigned to it.
- While petting a rabbit. I get a lot of quality time in with our bunny when I’m reading. She’ll come up to my knee and get her ears rubbed.
- In a blanket fort. At my parents’ house, I have a bunk bed. So I can hang a sheet down from the side of my bed and underneath there’s a sofa. Very cosy.
- While crocheting. Only for audiobooks, obviously!
- In the car. Again, only for audiobooks, but a nice long drive can eat up a big chunk of story. Or a big chunk of story can eat up the journey…
- With chocolate. The perfect companion.
Anyone else feel rebellious this week? Or have you stuck to the theme?
I always read on the train too! Otherwise, it’s just so boring. And chocolate is always the best companion 🙂

Exactly! Except maybe my bunny.
I love reading in my bed with the rain battering off the window…there’s something kind of comforting in that especially if chocolate is involved! I was a bit underwhelmed by this week’s topic so I picked something really fun instead! Heh!

Hot chocolate is particularly good in that situation, too…
Oh heck yes with your back against a radiator! My only regret in living in a house with only underfloor heating.
I also love reading in the bath, although the books don’t always appreciate it quite so much…
I substitute with a hot water bottle behind my back at my parents’ house, where the radiators have big wooden guards on them!
Heh, me too. I put my Kindle in a ziplock bag for that, too.
