It's been a few ridiculously crazy weeks since I wrote last. The house we were living in was unofficially condemned due to mold, a crumbling foundation and not worth the repairs. So that sent my husband and I on an interesting adventure of finding a new place to live for fairly cheap, in a good area and close to the church. We finally found a great place in a brand new complex. When I say brand new I mean only one of the 4 buildings is actually finished. So cleaning, packing, moving and unpacking has dominated my life over the last two weeks and then I had to wait until we got our internet reconnected. And because of all of that I haven't been reading much at all. In fact, I have only read two incredibly short books (short as in less than 100 pages each) in the last three weeks since I finished Harry Potter. It makes me sad that I have been ignoring my books. Especially since reading is what relaxes me and it's what I need right now after a crazy quick move.
And so since, I don't have much to say in regards to what I have been reading since I haven't been reading much... I thought maybe I would write about my love for just the right, perfectly comfortable reading spot. I have always been a fan of comfortable reading spaces. When I was little I used to have one of those cool inflatable chairs that were all the rage in the late 90s. I would put that chair into my big walk-in closet, crawl under a few blankets and read for hours. When we moved away from that house I got my own room for the first time ever and so my bed (a super fashionable day-bed) became covered in pillows and more like a couch than a bed which meant that is where I spent most of my time reading. Then when I was in college and reading for school I would lay out in the grass on a blanket by my dorm. And now I have a big, comfy recliner that I can curl up in in our spare bedroom. I seriously love comfy reading spaces! They just make the whole experience so much better in my mind. When you find that perfect spot it becomes incredibly inviting, hard to resist and always waiting for you to fall into with your book and a blanket. It becomes so very easy to lose track of time when you have a great place to sit and read. Every read should have that one perfect spot!

Where do you love to spend time reading? Do you have any comfy chair or reading nook that is your go-to place whenever you have a good book and are ready to escape into another world? I hope you do. I think every reader should.
