I can look out the window and see the lake, gaze at the books in the family room book cases, yet still be aware of what's happening in other areas of the house. Next to the chair is a small table where I keep my current book, immediate tbr pile, a notebook/journal, and a pretty bowl with pens, post-its, bookmarks, reading glasses, etc. I especially love being the first one up on Sunday and sitting here with my coffee.<br /><br />I was tagged in a meme a couple years ago and posted a picture here:<br />http://lakesidemusing.blogspot.com/2009/10/whats-on-your-desk-wednesday.htmlJoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-57639988678030802472011-10-31T10:35:28.020-07:002011-10-31T10:35:28.020-07:00Unfortunately, when I look out my window, I rarely...Unfortunately, when I look out my window, I rarely see anything beautiful! I do love reading when camping or traveling though, but that doesn't happen often enough. So usually I'm on a comfortable couch or chair, which makes me happy enough. It's an added bonus if it's raining, but that doesn't happen too often either. <br />Your space looks fabulous!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-10018642657625794112011-10-31T08:42:58.298-07:002011-10-31T08:42:58.298-07:00My favourite spot to read is now at your house! ;)...My favourite spot to read is now at your house! ;)<br /><br />My favourite time is also Sunday mornings with a pot of coffee, but I lie on the couch with a large window to my left letting in natural light. This is the best I can do in a condo - and there are no birds, since I am in the city... though I occasionally see pidgeons. ;P<br /><br /><br />Your shelves are beautiful - IKEA doesn't have stuff like that here. I also notice quite a few of your editions, and am happy you have the same version of the Greek Myths (that one particularly stands out). Also a lot of hardcover, which I relate to.<br /><br />But I digress. My dream is a 'sun room' up north that I can use year round, with my bookcases close but (the books) not ruined by the sun.Eclectic Indulgencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773640906287038956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-50682759868700458062011-10-30T13:49:08.242-07:002011-10-30T13:49:08.242-07:00Love this post :) I have a sort of study / library...Love this post :) I have a sort of study / library (I say "sort of" because it sounds horribly pretentious, but really, that is what this room is) and I write more often than not at my desk and read more often than not in the armchair. It's upstairs, so I can't see birds in the garden but I often see buzzards flying around. I live in a forest, so I look at the trees :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-83805084948097996852011-10-30T07:32:47.873-07:002011-10-30T07:32:47.873-07:00Becky, Jon, and Amanda-- Thanks for stopping by a...Becky, Jon, and Amanda-- Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments! I think it is kinda cool how we all have a somewhat different approach to what makes us most comfortable for our reading and writing experiences.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428150254760548485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-11596020294549896762011-10-30T05:25:18.970-07:002011-10-30T05:25:18.970-07:00I live in a tiny townhouse with my husband, a cat ...I live in a tiny townhouse with my husband, a cat and my twins so my special place to read and write is Starbucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-52965983664781283902011-10-30T04:08:42.183-07:002011-10-30T04:08:42.183-07:00I converted one of the spare bedrooms into a libra...I converted one of the spare bedrooms into a library earlier this summer. My husband purchased a very nice leather chaise lounger for my library soon after. By far, that is my favorite reading room. <br /><br />For writing, wherever the mood strikes me, provided my laptop is handy. Until I get a desk for my library, that space will either be the kitchen table or my desk at work. <br /><br />Love your bookcases, Chris!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577207213001828243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-79722149886695727192011-10-29T22:27:40.301-07:002011-10-29T22:27:40.301-07:00Im not a writer so I don't have a desk to sit ...Im not a writer so I don't have a desk to sit at per se. We have a computer desk in the living room so we can play on the computer and watch tv at the same time (how bad does that sound!) but its only for a computer, you couldn't write at it .<br /><br />To be honest I mainly read on the train to and from work or at my desk on my lunch break. If I am at home I just read on the couch. Nothing special for me <br /><br />You made your house and backyard sound like wonderful places to beRebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.com
