This week’s Behind the Blog Monday topic is:
If you could read any where in the world, where would it be?
I’d love to read in a place like this. Somewhere beautiful and peaceful and where the sun shines bright and I could hear birds chirping. Somewhere I could find solace. I’d have my book in hand and I’d sip green tea while I’m reading a sweet, lovely, feel-good book.
If not, I’d want to read in a bookstore, my ultimate safe haven. There’s something about the smell of books in the air- whether old or new. I’m particularly digging this Parisian bookshop. That green chair looks really homey to read in.
But for now, I’d have to settle with reading in my lonely, dim-lighted bedroom. I’m kidding- I love reading in my room. It’s where my books are at and I always feel happy when I’m around them.
How about you? Where would you read if you could choose any place in the world? What’s your ideal reading spot?

I would love to read in those outdoor patio/ gardens! So gorgeous! I love to read in the sun, but my next favorite reading spot is my room because I have a little nook all set up.
Reading outside in a beautiful garden just seems so classy to me! Aww, I’m extremely jealous you have your own reading nook! The only comfortable place I could read at home is my bed, really.
The chair with the flowery background looks so comfy and pretty <3 I think one of my ultimate places would be in a hammock dangling between palm treas on a warm spot with a beautiful ocean and beach, haha.
I know! Omg that’s a gorgeous spot to be reading at! I can imagine golden light spilling against the ocean! I’ll try to find a reading spot just like that when I visit the beach! <3
I’m the same: I love to be surrounded by books when I read. I haven’t done that often enough recently — I think a trip to the library is in order!
I guess there’s something comforting about being surrounded by books while you’re reading one. Or maybe it’s the “I belong” feeling. Haha, enjoy the library! :)
I love how comforting book stores are! That Parisian bookstore looks really fun! Here’s mine:

Totes! The only time I’m not comfortable reading at book stores is when there are too many people (aka weekends). :-/ Yey, I’ll check out your BTB post! :)
I’d love to be outdoors on a beautiful day, with a book to immerse myself into! Sometimes my favourite place to read differs by the book– it’s always nice to have your physical surroundings similar to your bookish world, and I guess that’s why we all pack fun, summer reads for the beach =) Interesting post!

Preach! I guess the ideal reading spot really depends on the book you’re reading. There are some books that must be read privately, in the safety of your room, where no one will judge you. Hahaha! Thanks for dropping by, lovely! :)
My ideal was a library, a really legit library. Something you’d find in Western countries. Because for me, if I went to somewhere beautiful, I wouldn’t end up reading, I’d end up taking so many pictures.
I read books at our school library often but I never really feel in the zone there. I agree with you, I love the libraries in Western countries- they are stunning. I wish we had those here. :(
I LOVE reading outdoors. It’s mainly because I can get a tan and not just lie there in boredom, but it’s always nice to be sitting in the fresh air while reading. My ultimate favorite place to read is at Starbucks. If it’s nice out I’ll sit outside, otherwise inside is just as good. I love their drinks and I think it’s the perfect place to relax and get lost in a book.
I feel ya! I love reading at coffee shops too, and of course Starbucks is a favorite, but sometimes it gets noisy/crowded. I’m not sure if that’s just because people in our country are too over-enthusiastic about Starbucks. But I do enjoy my dose of White Chocolate Mocha while reading a good book. :)
That last picture looks so good! Surrounded by books and their smell and that green chair looks super comfy! I also agree about sitting outside. I love doing that, it’s one of my favorite places to read. Especially in autumn when the leaves are all pretty colors and the air is cooler. :)
I love that picture too. (Kinda wish I took it myself haha) Awww, I wish we had autumn in the Philippines. :(((((
Love love your layout! Random haha but I just had to!
For me the ideal spot would be indoors and surrounded by shelves just filled with books and a comfy chair with no one around. I’m not an outdoor reader and it’s hard to be comfortable in other outside areas, there really is nothing than the comfort of my own home :)
Eeeeep, thank you so much! I love yours right back! I love reading indoors but sometimes it’s nice to get some sun, y’know? As long as it’s quiet enough, I’m good with reading outdoors. Still, I gotta agree- reading at home is the most comfortable. ;)
