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?

Not a place, but on a bus by the window during my morning commute. I get absorbed by the book during that particular time.

I used to commute to work by bus and yes it was a great time to dip into a book. I really enjoy opportunities like that - waiting to get to a destination with nothing else to do, and no pressure to do anything else. So you immerse yourself fully in reading :)
