In bed with a stack of books and instrumental music or music that suits my mood. It's the one place that I don't have distractions and I can read in peace.

Very quiet, in bed with low light, a lot of pillows and a cup of tea on the nightstand. Every once in a while I like a change of pace and I will read in an over stuffed chair, again with low lights, a quiet room and a cup of tea or coffee.

I just bought the recliner of my dreams, pleather, big, and most importantly, comfy! This is my new favorite reading spot. Especially with a cup of tea and some rain pattering on the windows.

I usually read snuggled up in my warm bed or on my comfy blue couch.

At night, in bed, blanket overhead, Kindle Paperwhite/smartphone in hand, soft music playing in the background, power socket close by for when the smartphone/kindle runs low on power. Legs resting against the wall adjoining my bed, at an altitude that's higher than where my head is.

In a comfortable corner, in a nice comfy chair, with a foot rest, slowly crackling fire, and the rain pitter-pattering on the roof.

In a big beautiful library or bookstore filled with books and a cafe... I tried it and absolutely loved it; I read for a really long time uninterrupted.

Definitely my bedroom. This way I can get snuggled in and have some quiet time to unwind.

Mine are cliche. Either in a boiling hot bubble bath or curled up on the couch with the fire going. Third choice is sitting in a cold pool on a hot day, or laying in the sand on the beach. Or snuggled in my bed. Or on a long trip in the car, when its night time on my tablet.
Somewhere out there is a world we never knew existed.

Languages never spoken.
Colors that should not be.
Lives never opened.
Eyes that never see.

And then the page is turned, a universe created.

We are gods.

I like either laying on my couch with my warmest blanket and like five pillows, or in my bed. My family can be noisy, so I've gotten used to listening to music while reading to block them out. I do prefer reading late at night when everyone is asleep.

Outside leaning against a tree. Maybe a few occasional bird tweets and winds. It sounds so peaceful and I would love to have it. Also lots of grass. No dirt or insects.

My bed.
I know it's cliché but I know for sure it's the only place where people won't bug me with petty things and distract me all the time.

I love reading by a window when it's raining outside! The sound of rain is such a wonderful background noise for reading :)
