Where do you like to do it?
Hey gang!
This morning I'd like to welcome another of my fellow blogging students, Susi Nonnemacher. She's a Pennsylvania girl, born and bred, and her enthusiasm for writing and for reading have made the class a lot more fun. Here she's going to talk about her fave place to do it....
I love to read, as most writers do. My favorite place to read is on a beach--the sun beating down, the waves providing the background music. Actually, the beach is my favorite place to be even if I am not reading. :-)
"Reading on the beach"
Unfortunately, I live in Pennsylvania, about two and a half hours from the closest beach. Even worse, there are only a few prime beach months each year, so I don't get to visit as often as I would like.In spring and summer, when not at the beach, I love to sit on our back patio to read (thank goodness for e-ink readers), but I didn't find that perfect reading spot for winter until recently.For Christmas, my husband and I bought a new sofa. It is a big, fluffy sectional. (We joke that I bought him one piece, and he bought me the other.)
:-)
"I think Cami spends more time here than I do!"
Seriously, the corner of this sofa I ridiculously comfortable, perfect for snuggling in with a blanket, a great book, a cup of tea, and, of course, my cuddly pup, Cami.I read over 200 books on my first Nook before replacing it after 2 years (and a worn-out page turn). I am up to 8 on the new one (bought the week after Christmas), and most of that has been read in my new favorite reading spot. I wonder if I can wear my shiny new Nook out quicker than the first one? ;-) I hear there is a new one coming out in a few months.
"Justa little crack--but it still works! :-)"
Speakingof reading, it just started to snow; I have a crystal-clear view outsidefrom my reading-spot, and a to-be-read list that is calling my name.
What'son your to-be-read list? Where is your favorite place to read? Does itchange by season? Any must-haves when you are reading—a preferred drink, a pet?
Thanks so much, Susi! I know I always read better with a cat in my lap. What about the rest of you?Peace,Liv
S. M.Nonnemacher has loved reading for as long as she can remember. It didn't takelong for her to realize that she enjoyed creating her own stories as much asreading the creations of others. Alifelong daydreamer, she sometimes claimed her "characters" as actual friends,especially when it meant getting her way with her parents. When not writing orspending time her beloved husband, she can be found with family and friends, ata community theatre rehearsal, at a minor league baseball game, or relaxingwith a cup of coffee or tea and a great book. You can find her on-line on the following sites: Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/SMNonnemacher, Twitter http://twitter.com/SMNonnemacher, and her blog/website http://SMNonnemacher.com.
