Thanks!
So I was right, I live in Liguria and it's plenty of such colorful towns on the sea.
I loved this blog. Wonderful pictures. I just wish the locations of the places had been more specific and it would have been nice to see what some of the readers were reading at that point in time and place.
Loved any of them by water....but I do love a hammock!Wish participation didn't require Facebook or Twitter. Some of us deliberately do not use those social media, but have some great reading photos!

Looked familiar to me too! :-)
#5 is San Francisco (not too hard to figure out) and #8, the lighthouse, is the South Light on Block Island, Rhode Island, US.
As beautiful as some of these places look, I'd be most content reading at home
I suspect some of them are....if so, I'm particularly jealous of #3's lakeside hammock....I spent a lot of my youth reading in a hammock, on the balcony, or out on our raft, with the water rocking me. Nothing better.

So many of us don't.....just 'cause we're "uncool" doesn't mean our photos are! :D
Awesome pics! How I envy them all! (I never get to read outside.)I liked them all but the ones with doggies are extra cute. :)

That's a pity, considering that the weather where you live is so warm, and it's so pretty! That you live somewhere that looks like some of these photos! :D
Lovely pics! But what are the secrets for their eyes of those who can read in the sun?
Actually, I see shade on most except for 1 6 and 13. And a couple of these, such as the last one, I suspect were just holding up the book and snapping the photo--that's the way the one taken at the Block Island lighthouse looks. There's nowhere to sit and read there; the person just snapped the photo and went on with their day.

So very true! GoodReads *is* my social media!
Besides, when I'm out enjoying the great outdoors, I'm enjoying the great outdoors.
not a big fan of the 13th pic, there's gonna be sand on the pages now ... i hate sand on the page >:(
i have a question:where/what is the heaven when you need a quiet palace to read and a cup of coffee which never cold?
isnt that pics from heaven?
They all looked fantastic.I would gladly go to any of the places in the photos to read!!My favourite would be Italy.
Wonderful,amazingplaces it shows reflection of Almighty Allah.
These are beautiful

Southern hemisphere here, summer is yet to come...

For us, it's like a dig: "say goodbye, one last weekend and you're done!"
woW!what a nice palce to read!
i always read at my room!

Anyone else spend most time on No. 12 because you could read the words?
No, haha, but I did indeed check out what they were reading!

I've never been there, but have seen that shot so many times in films and photos that I feel it's on the side of the road on the way to, a popular pull-over vista. The locals can correct me if I'm wrong! But it certainly is beautiful!
Linda wrote: "Might still be super hot there..."Yes, we still have fine weather. I'm not near the Cinque Terre but a couple of hours more westward and took this picture this morning (sorry, but I don't have facebook or twitter):
dely wrote: "Where has the first photo been taken (the village overlooking the sea)? It looks very familiar."It reminds me of the village in the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". One of the girls goes to Greece to visit her family.

Non-Facebook users, unite! :D
Great picture! Looks so peaceful...and you got there early, before people started showing up!
Beautiful pictures, so relaxing to look at. I'm going to miss the summer *sniff* And I second all the non-social-media users who want to post here. Please let us!
And what if somebody doesn't have any?Maybe any other idea for those, who don't use fb & twitter?
Amazing pictures! How I envy them... I would love to read at these serene places!
Some of these places do look perfect for reading in a relaxing environment. Others make me say "put the book down and go exploring or at least pay attention to the view!", book lover though I am. Possibly some of those are staged, lol. A fine line, maybe?
Next Summer take me w/you please????? LOL
