Review Copy Clean Up Challenge # 2

It's time for another challenge for the Review Copy Clean Up event I am participating in. It's not to late to sign up, just click on the image above to enter. 


The Challenge:
The goal of the Cuddle Up With a Book Challenge is to share your favourite place to read. We love pictures - but if that's not possible, a description will do too (: Tell us why you love it! And maybe you have some reading habits you would love to share. Do you listen to music while reading? Or can you only read during the night? We're very curious to see our fellow bookworms' reading spots and read about their customs.


My Answer:
I read everywhere. On average I read about three hours a day. My standing joke is, "If you see me without my nook and a up of coffee, don't bother waving or saying hi...I am probably dead." 
So here are a few of the places I like to read:

I love to snuggle in my bed and read. I can stretch out and it's peaceful.

I usually enjoy a cup of coffee while I read. I do not snack, since I hate for my nook or books to get sticky finger prints. You will always find a fresh stack of books on my nightstand. 

I read in my car a lot. Don't worry ..not while I am driving. I read there on my lunch break, and while sitting in the car line waiting for my kids to get out of school. It's amazing how much reading I can get done, during these quite mundane activities. 

This is our family room and it's right off the kitchen. I love to sit here and read while my family watches television or plays video games. You can't see it, but there is a fireplace off to the left, and i love reading here on cold winter nights by the fire. 

In the summer I love to read on the back deck. 

So these are my reading places,

Where do you like to read?
