Kristin Bair
It has been a while (way too long!), but I absolutely love reading a book in a bar. All by myself with a margarita and just enough light.
Madeleine Henry
Audiobook on a walk outside. My previous jobs in finance piqued my appreciation for movement.
Margaret Seven Wellman
Feeding the birds and sitting on my porch as the sun sets while the crows in the ash tree caw and jockey for the final peanut of the day.
Leslie Brody
6am Café on the Mediterranean with a cappuccino and croissant. Otherwise, lounging anywhere with an unimpeded view of a large body of water.
Tamara Winfrey-Harris
On my back porch, when the sun is out, the weather is mild and the vines have grown up over the pergola.
Molly Greeley
In the rocking chair on my porch, with a cup of coffee beside me.
Denise Williams
My idea reading spot is snuggled in an arm chair next to a window between a snowy day outside and a crackling fireplace inside. I would settle in for the day and get lost in a romance novel.
Stacy Wise
Snuggled in a cozy blanket on my sofa with my dogs nearby.
Tessa Wegert
My husband and I built a reading nook in our attic, and its isolation from the rest of the house makes it the perfect place to hide out with a book.
Julia Claiborne Johnson
In bed on a cold night with the covers pulled up to my chin, with just one arm sticking out to hold up the book and turn pages.
Jean Kwok
I have a wonderfully soft, mint-green couch in my bedroom that has a chaise longue and I love curling up on it, both to read and to write.
Jennifer Anton
In front of our fire place at our home in Lake Como with a big cup of coffee next to me and a chunky grandma sweater wrapped around me. Heavenly!!!!
Lisa Scottoline
I love to read standing in my pool. I feel lucky to have a pool, and I stand because I can’t swim. But I can read.
Patricia Davids
On my laptop, in my recliner, with coffee, oh, and coffee. Maybe with an oatmeal raisin cookie, too.
Naima Simone
My bed, under blankets with some crime show on TV.
Sunday Taylor
Chintz-covered armchair in front of a crackling log fire, cup of tea in hand.
Tammy Euliano
On the porch outside my 2nd floor bedroom at the lakehouse. It's double-wide so my dogs can cuddle me while I read. Though, frankly, it pretty much always turns into a cuddly nap.
Shelley Nolden
Long car, plane, or train rides. I love that feeling of losing myself in another world, only to be jolted back to reality by the fact that I've arrived at my destination.
Kim Neville
Ideally, sitting on a blanket under the shade of a tree. But realistically, I do most of my reading in bed.
Ben McPherson
On a little dive boat in Egypt, after lunch, before getting back into the water for the day's second dive. Diving is calming. It puts you in the right frame of mind for reading, and makes you receptive to good writing.
Elle Marr
Seated beside my bookshelf, which is stacked with books. There's something about reading among old friends that I find enjoyable.
Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau
On a lounge chair facing the Caribbean Sea. If that's not possible, on my couch with my tuxedo cat suggled up against me.
James A. Cusumano
In my library, adjacent to my home office. It's has a number of rare books from the 18th and 17th centuries. I feel their energy.
Kerry Lonsdale
My favorite place to read a book is in bed, but it's not productive. I don't get through many pages before I fall asleep. My second choice, weather permitting, is outside in my yard.
Kit Frick
In bed! My prime reading time is at night, curled up with my cat Francie (who usually tries to sit directly on or in front of my book).
