There's a small coffee shop in my city that puts a lot of love into their drinks. They have a couple of seats at the bay window by the entrance, which I always find a relaxing spot to read whilst I'm savouring my coffee. And the best part - the café has a really cute dog that'll occasionally come up to you for some pets :) Just sitting there, with relaxing music playing and the sound of people chatting in the background... I find that to be a charming place to read.

I also have fond memories of sitting by a pool when I was younger whilst on holiday with my parents. I'd devour the latest Alex Rider or Lemony Snicket novel sitting in the shade. Has been a while since I've last had that experience, but it's a sunny day here today, so perhaps I'll sit outside on my lunch under a tree.

Do you have any particular places where you like to read?

Most nights at work I make a little nest with a blanket and a pillow and I have a little Bluetooth speaker with one of those ultrasonic water mister things (usually for essential oil diffusion, but I have it because it shines a little led through it to make a little fake fire to sit next to) and I play either classical or jazz and just sit and read. A lot of the time patients come out of their rooms kinda upset and sometimes the little dancing light just gives their brain a little soft reboot into cozy vibes and that just makes for a better night for everyone and of the night goes well I usually finish either a half or a full book depending on length and how good the night is.
