Great idea for a thread! My favorite reading spot is a comfy chair in my office. It is very comfortable and both spins and rocks.

Top three on the TBR pile are:

Trust by Hernan Diaz (I need to read this for book group next week)

The Grammarians by Cathleen Schine

The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes (purchased almost solely for the title - I'm hoping it will be good)

What a beautiful location, Yoyo.

My favorite reading spot is a club chair with matching ottoman the same height in a corner of the den beside a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and looking out onto the patio and back yard with a fence row of 10-12' hydrangeas now turned brown.

Three books in waiting are The Division Bell Mystery by Ellen Wilkinson; The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin; and The Return of the Gods by Jonathan Cahn.

My other favorite reading spot is the chaise longue in my bedroom. I did some redecorating in there this summer with fresh paint, a blue and cream Oriental rug, and a blue and cream ceramic lamp that was waiting just for me when I went to the lamp store for new shades for the nightstand lamps. I smile at the room every time I go in it.

yoyo, I love what we over here might call the 'chalet-look' of your house and wouldn't be surprised to see Julie Andrews singing Climb Every Mountain as she skips among the edelweiss.

As for go-to reading spots, since we moved here 15 or so months ago I find I am able to follow the sun to various outdoor seating areas, so this afternoon I can sit in the front and not be overlooked by neighbours or disturbed by traffic noise. The same would be true for the back of the house, but that gets the morning sun and I don't really have time for a book then. When there is no sun we have a very handy conservatory where I can hide among the plants in an ancient and rather rickety basket chair. The other option is bedtime.

The TBR pile grows by the day as I am a sucker for the secondhand books on offer at the bank, the supermarket, the Post Office and even the Dr's.

Three of my recent pickups are

Thursday Afternoon by Monica Dickens

On Green Dolphin Street by Sebastian Faulks

On Chapel Sands by Laura Cumming

I am realy banal, slouched on the sofa in my den.

Three of my recent picups are

Lessons by Ian McEwan

The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks

The Apprentiship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler

I have an oversized upholstered armchair and a footstool (with a swinging bar for exercising my ankles) near a front room window.

No TBR pile as I read borrowed library books or reread something from my bursting bookshelves.

Vee, I used to read Monica Dickens books and loved the autobiographies.

I have a couple of places depending on the weather. If it’s warm outside, I set up my hammock swing and read while curled up in it. When it’s cold and wintery, I have a reading room upstairs with a nice lamp, a glider rocker and bookcases at hand.

On my TBR pile I have Recipes for Love and Murder by Sally Andrew, Wrapt in Crystal by Sharon Shinn, and One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston.

Rosefolly, I am a biting insect magnet too. Everyone in my retirement village seems to be able to sit outdoors excepting me! We have painters here working on the front verandahs so the outdoor furniture has been put out of the way on the lawns.

I would love to have some of what the other residents can have!

To be able to sit and read in the shady spot in the orchard garden under the orange trees, snuggled in a basket chair would be heavenly.

I have to sit inside near an open fly screened door.

Rosefolly........eat garlic !! It is suggested that most biting insects are attracted to your smell. Give 'em a run for their money ! LOL

I have several nice places to read in my house, but when I have a book in my hand, I almost always end up on my recliner or bed. That's not good because it makes it too easy for me to drift off to sleep. I startle awake when the book starts to fall out of my hands, then I back up a few lines to get back in the flow of what I'm reading. I repeat this cycle until it becomes ridiculous, then I give up and lay the book down, splayed on my lap or stomach or pillow. It's a wonder that I ever finish a book.

At the top of my ever-shuffling TBR list at the moment are:

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
