How’s this for a fab Summer giveaway?
TheUniversityBlog has teamed up with 360 feedback provider ETS to give away three Amazon Kindles!
The Kindle is an eReader, letting you read books, papers, and other content as if you’re reading it on paper. You probably know what the Kindle is already, but if you want to know more, Wikipedia is your friend.
I want to make this giveaway as simple as possible for you. For a chance to win one of 3 Kindle Touch devices, send a comment below and let us know the following:
- Because the Kindle is portable, you can take it just about anywhere. What places do you most like to go to read?
Comment on or before 1st August 2012 to be in with a chance [UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW ENDED. Check the winners.]. I’ll then use a random choice generator to pick three winners out and announce those winners on 2nd August. Comments after 1st August cannot be added to the draw (mainly because it will have already finished!).
That’s it! Just tell us your favourite places you like to read. You’ll give other readers inspiration on where they can find a brilliant place to sit back and relax with a book. Well, maybe an ebook. 
A couple of things to point out:
- The draw is open to entries from UK & Ireland only (sorry about that.);
- You need to use a valid contact email address in the email field, otherwise we won’t be able to contact you if you’re picked! [The email field is not published here on the site]
Good luck. I look forward to hearing about your favourite reading places.

I like reading anywhere I can!! In bed, on the toilet (lol), on holiday, on the sofa…You name it! I love reading so so so much!! I can’t get enough of it. I’m so passionate about it =D x
In the cinema when the other half takes me to chick-flik!
In the bath
On a sunbed in Greece
In bed before sleeping
On a plane, boat or train, in fact anywhere!
Has to be in bed,peace & quiet,alone just to concentrate on my book!
Locked away in the loo
This past week I have been reading in horsepital (hospital for horses!) as my elderly mare has been in intensive care. I can’t say it was my favourite place to read but having something to distract me whilst spending time with her was appreciated. Thankfully she is coming home today so I will enjoy reading in her stable with her whilst she (hopefully) makes a full recovery!
Relaxing by the side of the river or drifting along in a boat on the Norfolk Broads
On the tube
On the beach
On the rocks on the Isles of Scilly with the sound of crashing waves in the background.
On the beach
I love to read sitting in a corner of my horses field, sometimes my curious old mare reads it over my shoulder too – so rude!
The 5th floor of the University of Essex Library building. If you pick a good day you’ll have perfect peace and quiet with a view out over the pond and Wivenhoe grounds beyond.
in the wind
Where do I like to read? Everywhere. This week I’ve been reading in my office, lounge, bedroom, bathroom (!), garden, car (parked!), airport, plane, train…. The Kindle is my portable library in all of these places.
On a crowded tube train in the rush hour – to blot out everything else going on around me.
I most like to read in the British Library, but that’s not likely to be kindle based, so probably on my lengthy journey down to Sussex!
My favourite place to read is on an aeroplane when the cabin lights go off and most people fall asleep. You put the reading light on above you and relax…
My local park … peaceful and picturesque.
I like reading just about anywhere, but whilst waiting seems to be the most productive. Waiting for buses, trains and toilets to become available are all good opportunities to cram in a few words!
In my garden.
I like to read when traveling on tube or bus, makes time go quicker
I like reading in bed just before sleep
Anywhere quiet but in the sun preferably. A corner in the park is ideal.
Lucky to live 5 mins away from beach and park with a nice shady tree
I like to read on train journeys and also in bed. And on sunny days lying out on a picnic rug reading is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
I love ready in our local park while the kids are happily playing! There are some lovely benches in there and it is never too busy!
I love reading during my lunch break on Highbury Fields, on the grass in the sun (when there is sun!)
i love to read in the sun on holiday and also on a long train journey
In the garden
In my garden or travelling on holiday
On the train…
I like to read in my local park. It’s bang in the city centre but you’d never know it because there’s no noise and very peaceful.
Like others, I’ll read anywhere and everywhere. I guess the nicest places are outside in the sunshine. My favourite reading experience so far has been reading in a street cafe on my book group holiday to Nice.
under a tree in a tranquil forest
I like to read on the car journey to our holiday and relaxing in our touring caravan on a quiet and peaceful site.
On a sunny day like today, I enjoy reading my book up one of Edinburgh’s favourite spots, Arthur’s Seat. I have my favourite place, which despite being about 200m in altitude, is always calm and very secluded. I can take a break and have a swig of my flasked coffee whilst looking over the ol’ toon which always puts a smile on my face.
I like to read anywhere quiet! Can’t concentrate if the area is noisy! Although saying that, I do like to read on the train, makes the journey go quicker!
when im travellingon public transport to make the time go faster
i like to read in the garden or park especially when the suns shining
On the open deck of a cruise ship sailing in the Med ( in my dreams)
I like to read in bed or when travelling as my partners does all of the driving.
At the airport waiting for my plane and on the plane travelling to me destination. xx
I always have a book in my bag because there isn’t anywhere you can’t read, I would love a Kindle to make my bag a bit lighter to carry
I read mostly in bed but I love reading in the garden or in the local park. Anywhere where it’s peaceful and I can concentrate on my book. I really love to read.
I love to read snuggled up in my favourite old leather arm chair it looks like it has seen better days but is so comfy.
I would take it on a plane
I’d take my Kindle to Carrow Road and read Great Expectations
#CarrowRoad Excellent location tho a tad noisy??!
I like to read 3 feet to the right of the begonia bush, just behind the lupins, in my back garden – as it’s the only place I have found that is out of sight from all the house windows. No disturbances, unless the dog finds me. Happy days
my favourite place is the toilet
i like reading in the bath
I read anywhere! In bed, on the loo, on my sun bed in the garden (when the sun’s out), while waiting for a film to start in the cinema,in the queue for the bus really just anywhere, I love reading!
I love to read in bed.
One of my tutors claims to read whilst cycling. I don’t know about that. Sitting on my sofa with the sun coming through the window is pretty good. And in the bath. Can you read a Kindle in the bath?
My fave place to get away from it all and read is in the quiet carriage when i travel to Manchester to visit my family . A good 5 hours of escaping
Having an active 2.5 yr old, anywhere I can get some peace (toilet normally safest for 10 minutes!)
I like to read on the train. Makes long journeys fly by!
I like to read in the garden, sleeping bags and blankets spread out on the ground, blankets and pillows, and a bottle of Belgian beer.
Like to read on long haul flights or waiting around the departure lounges when the delays strike. The kindle saves so much space and weight.
Up on my work top roof at lunch time
everywhere
Like to read in Glasgow Uni Lib’s Special Collections reading room; or @RCStweets Cafe-bar – or my mum’s garden!

on long journeys, but also in the bath with a glass of winr

I love to read on the beach
I love to read in the bath! danger

I love to read on holiday as it is my stress free “me time”
while queuing at supermarket
Waiting to pick up my daughter
I like (have) to read when the kids have gone to bed: time and space to absorb rather than read in rushed bouts. That, of course, limits the places I can read. Perhaps my favourite recently was the balcony of our hotel room on holiday with the kids safely asleep inside and a nice glass of wine in my hand.
love to read in bed were i can relax and all is done
With headphones on, some light jazz… scabadee beeboop chachaa.. dripping softly into my ears and a good book in my hands, my attention will be drawn into whatever world I am reading. This means anywhere can prospectively be your own little place of literally heaven.
*literary (let down by my own waffle)
bedroom and toilet…:)
i like reading in bed, and in my back yard, which is quite a sun trap (when there is any sun that is!)
The best way to read is in the lovely sunshine (suncreamed up of course) with my legs dangling in the pool to keep me cool whist reading Mr Grey.
My favourite place to read is Whitlingham Broad on the outskirts of Norwich http://farm1.staticflickr.com/138/332058485_cb98b21c86_z.jpg
Nothing better than burying your head in a good book, sound of the water lapping at the shore…birds tweeting, ducks quacking, wind in the trees. Utter bliss!
Would love to win this KIndle!
In a quiet shaded place in the garden
I read everywhere. On a train to my way to work, in a bed just before I go to sleep but my favorite places to read are outside: parks, my garden, beaches etc.
on the train xx
I’m a multi-tasker so it literally can be anywhere when I have a quiet five minutes – dog walks, office breaks, travelling, hey even under the kitchen table if the opportunity arose!
In the corner of a good pub in winter, or outside in the summer. In my garden (and with a Kindle the pages don’t flap about so much). Lying on the grass by the river after a swim. Standing at the kitchen door in the morning with a cup of coffee.
in the shower using a waterproof cover!!
On a cliff top whilst listening to the sea

Anywhere hot and sunny, in bed, on the loo, on the train and on the bus!
I seem to study best while slouched on my bed, so I’ll say my bed.
my wife devours books, she will read a book anywhere, anytime and tune out completely, so she reads in her own private book world – occasionally she comes back for food and water…
i like to read on a bus or airplane
I love to read on holiday, i can get lost in a good book in the sunshine

i like to read wherever and wherever. the kindle would travel everywhere with me.
On the beach!
Fantastic product, cheaper books through Amazon, would be great to have one of these for Hols instead of running out of books and having to carry them.
I read pretty much anywhere I can, whether it be at home (instead of watching tv), in the bath, on the toilet, in my lunch break and when I am on holiday. At the end of the day, data is data, to turn it into anything useful you need to turn it into knowledge; and this is one excemplary way of doing this.
The Beach, or chilled out by a nice pool in the sun.
I like to read at the library. There are books there.
definitely cuddled up in bed. The kindle would solve the problem of trying to hold a large book xx
I like reading in the bath when my 16 month old is asleep
I personally like to read in a library or reclining in my conservatory but if i’m lucky enough the ideal place would be on a sandy beach as the waves are so soothing.
I love reading any where i can – these days i tend to read alot waiting for my friend who has had a lot of hostpital appointments, i take him and wait for him so it gets pretty boring with out a good book to read waiting all those hours ;-(
On the toilet
I like to read literally anywhere, on my break at work everyone laughs at me trying to read in the corner while they chat! I also like to read while everyone else in the house watches telly or plays video games lol!!
On the train. Anything to distract me from the huddled masses.
The obvious choice is on the loo.
Realistically anywhere when the opportunity presents itself.
Ideally, In the dunes, shaded beneath one of the many wind bent hawthorn trees, with a hot sun on warm sand and the waves rhythmically trickling in.
I like to read in the pub
I like to read on the beach on holiday.
I have reading material on me at all times, handy in a Doctor’s waiting room, waiting for a bus or train, last thing at night to help me unwind, even sitting on the loo
Looking out the window it’s def the beach!
I like to read at the moment in the garden while enjoying the sunshine and the sun warming my skin. In the winter i enjoy reading on the sofa with a blanket snuggled up round me. I do prefer to be alone while i read so that i can become fully engrossed in the plot and characters.
On the train… it makes my 50min commute each way go so much faster! Also so handy to take away on holidays as I have so many choices of books to read in transit and when I get to my (hopefully) sunny destination
For me, reading in the local park, if it’s sunny!!
back yard
I like to read wherever I can. Nothing more relaxing than a good book.
Nothing better than laying on a sunbed reading while on holiday, listening to the sound of the sea and my little boy building sandcastles a few feet away, bliss! Or failing that, Parliament Hill on a nice sunny day can’t be beaten.
I like to read in the garden
Assuming that we will have a summer then at the beach or in a park enjoying the sun and having a read
i love to read in the garden with a glass of cider when my children have gone to bed aaahhh bliss x
Under a tree on a sunny day or on a station platform when I’ve just seen my once an hour train pull away from the station without me
On the bus into town as it takes an hour and a quarter and reading helps the time pass quicker.
I like to go to our local woods, so peaceful and quiet!
in bed before i go to sleep. Nothing tires your brain out quiet like your overactive imagination.

all give a opportunities to cram in a few words!
On a cruise ship (I wish!!)
I love to read at night when we go camping. This it so great and easy for doing just that!
In those annoying moments when held up travelling or commuting, purely a public transport and holiday user
Anywhere & Everywhere, but on the sofa or in the garden [if the sun has his hat on!]
Anywhere quite, and that’s the beauty of the Kindle you can take all your books wherever you go! Brilliant
On my hammock under the cherry tree with a large glass of Pimmes
I like to read on the beach, in the forest, on the loo, in bed, on the sofa, in the garden, at work (if I can get away with it) and in the bath. In fact, I will read pretty much anywhere, anytime, any place

I like reading in bed but in the summer, when the weather is warm and sunny, I like nothing more than going outside to read in the shadow of some leafy tree.
Anywhere I can
In bed with a good glass of wine.
I like to read at the top of the old Acropolis in Greece, as it’s so relaxing and seems out of this world, especially when I’m reading something mythological. When I’m not on holiday however, I love to read in the woods where the quiet natural setting gives the perfect backdrop for any book, though it can sometimes get a bit spooky.
I like to read whenever I’m between places. On the bus or train for instance.
In a park/garden in the shade on a hot day!
Lying on the grass in the garden of my new house
In the shade on a hot day – preferably in a lovely garden!
In my back garden (when it’s not raining)
Ihave a weird place I like to read during lunchtime. My office is very busy with lots going on all the time, so finding somewhere quiet is diffcult. I have found that there is just enough space down the side of the vending machine in the kitchen for me to plant myself on a cushion and read my book without anyone hassling me!
in the garden, lounging in a deck chair
On the beach or in bed!

On the beach, taking advantage of all its features

I love to curl up on the sofa to read.
I’ll be honest – I enjoy reading most on the throne! When you have 4 kids it is the most peaceful place in the house!
in the bubble bath
in the car during my lunch break is where I do most of my reading

In my car where I can be alone in a quiet place and lie back in my seat for max comfort.
In the loo! (they can’t get me there!)
I love to read in nearby gardens, it’s usually fairly empty, it has beautiful views and when it’s sunny; it’s just perfect.
On the train,it helps me escape the hustle and bustle
Anywhere you don’t have to concentrate on something else, like driving

On the tube, or in a park

I tend to read in the car a lot whilst waiting to pick up my kids from nursery. Any spare moment really! I’d love a Kindle. So much more modern and light compared to carrying a heavy book around. Plus you can only carry one book at a time and I like the idea of having lots of books to choose from on a Kindle x

In bed and in the bath!
In my most comfy, squashy armchair on a cold day, or outside at the back of my garden if the sun decides to come out.
I love sitting out in the garden in the sun on the hammock (when we get the good weather) with my books and if not then there’s nothing better than curling up in bed with a good book.

In my bed before sleep
In the forest behind my house where I can hear the river.

On the patio with a pint
I like to read in bed at night as it helps me fall asleep
I have a comfortable old chair at the end of the garden. When it is sunny, there’s nothing better than to curl up and relax by reading. However, I’d read anywhere.

Anywhere that is peaceful! Although, a kindle is a must have if going on holiday anywhere (definately better that ibooks!).

I think it might be easier to list where I don’t read. So nowhere where the book might get wet. Aside from that my favourite places to read are those where I can relax and stretch out – bed, sofa, recliner in the sun – and the laces where I most need to read are those where I;m not relaxed at all – on public transport, on planes, while waiting for people in my car – but I’m not proud – I’ll read anywhere where the book is safe!

In the bath by candlelight, have to keep topping up the hot water if its a great read !!
I love reading just before I go to sleep, but I also love reading when I take my son to a play area, when he plays I can get some me time and get lost in a good book.
The toilet and in the bath. I have no peace elsewhere! (baby in bedroom with us!)
I love to read on the bus to work, on the beach and most importantly in bed at night
I love to read on the beach in the sunshine!
Anywhere that I have the time or peace and quiet. Best place ever was overlooking the neolithic/megalithic remains at Mnajdra
In bed
When travelling, it makes the time go quicker. Also, in the Doctors surgery… our average waiting time (despite having an appointment!) is usually one hour plus, so having a kindle would be great
On a hammock under a shady palm tree on some tropical beach
I like reading in the grounds of Belfast City Hall…if only the rain would let up this summer !
On a caribbean beach

Anywhere.
That is peaceful. that is quite…
will be suffice
I love reading where ever possible! Whether it is curled up in bed or waiting in a long shopping que, this would make my reading life easier!

My favourite place to read a book is…anywhere I’m on holiday and won’t be interrupted.
In the kitchen with my Thailand Wooden Picture in the background
Sitting in the park, with my back against a tree, not giving a care in the world.
i love to read on the beach on my holidays
I love reading in my dining room which I have claimed s my personal quiet reading space
mostly holidays – as too much going on when at home
I always take loads of books on holiday with me
Anywhere really but my favourite places are in bed (!) and on the beach.
I go to the local square where I can read quietly but also watch the world go by.
This question brings back to me a lovely memory. As a child I loved going to the library (love reading) which was situated in a beautiful big park where you can stroll and enjoy nature (not a swings and seesaw park). One day I went to the library and picked out a book. When I left the library the sun was shining and the park called to me. Whilst walking through the park I came upon this really great tree with quite low branches. Yes, you guessed it, I climbed the tree and sat on one of the thick branches – it was really quite comfy and opened my book. No one knew I was there and I could enjoy my book with the sunlight dappling between the leaves. This is a memory which I cherish and I was grateful your question brought it back to my mind. My answer, therefore, would be sitting in a tree.
In bed and in the garden while my baby is asleep.
In bed with a nice dim lamp

up an apple tree
In bed
On a warm beach
You can’t beat reading on the bog. It relaxs my lower digestive tract.
In the park, preferably on a picnic blanket under a tree!
On the middle step at home, looking out onto the garden.
To coin a phrase from Robin on the Muppet show.
I’m not at the bottom, I’m not at the top, I’m just on the step where I always sit.
on the toilet
Regent’s Park during the summer
My children love to read when they’re eating,guess it takes their minds off the food! The Kindle would be perfect for this as it would make ‘turning pages’ so much easier.

Love reading!! I read in the garden, in the park, on public transport, in bed, in other peoples houses ( i’m not a very social person, you can tell! lol)

anywhere quiet to get away from reality for awhile
in the park
in bed
If i had a kindle, i would read it everywhere the park, the train, the doctots, taking the kids to their clubs etc, but the perfect place i have ever read was when i went to Lanzarote and my mum lent me hers on the beach, it was fab, worked great in the sun and was so easy to use.
on the train !
on the plane as I don’t need to buy lots of books at the airport
I love to read anywhere – on the park, in the garden, the the bath or in bed. It helps me relax and escape to new and different worlds and experience lives different or similar to my own.

On the beach at Aberystwyth

On the beach
In a window seat, behind a curtain.
I have 3 children and just recently started to read again… I haven’t picked up a book in a long time, and in the past week have managed to read 2! With the beautiful weather weve just had in the south west, I set up the picnic blankets in the garden, filled up the paddling pools, and got all the toys out and the kids had a whale of a time whilst i lay and red in the garden catching some rays
Pretty much anywhere!
on the banks of the Thames with the calm rush of water.
I like to read when travelling to pass the time. Luckily I don’t suffer from travel sickness.
Curled up on the sofa after the kids have gone to bed. Book in one hand, cup of tea in the other
my fav place for reading is on the bus. I have an hour commute to and from uni each day so it gives me an excellent opportunity!
In bed usually. But I have always had a vision of sitting reading in a bay window so if I ever won the lottery I would build a house with a bay window looking out at fields just so I could have somewhere to read!
I tend to ready on the bus on the way to/from work. Would love to be able to read on the beach more.
in the bath is my fave place, only time i get peace!!
Summer – In the garden
Winter – in front of the fire
At my Father In Laws house because he bores me to tears talking about Landrovers with my husband….
I love reading on the stairs, always wearing my “reading hat”, I guess I am a little strange like that…
I love going to bed to read at the end of a busy day, I can go into my own little world stress free!
Great Comp. thanks. xx
On the bed, on the sofa, in the kitchen, jostling between others on the Jubliee Trains, escalators, flights,,
On the green in front of Peterborough Cathedral – a stunning and peaceful setting x
In the shade in the garden (weather permitting) or in bed. Reading is a really relaxing thing for me.
I live opposite a long stretch of pretty much deserted beach – no place better to read!

In my bed after a nice long bath, just perfect
I literally read EVERYWHERE! The toilet, in bed, in the bath, at work, in thecar, on trains. If I have a spare 5 minutes-regardless of where I am my head will be buried in a book.

I love reading at Virginia Water park, lying next to the waterfall is so peaceful and perfect for getting engrossed in a good book
kindle is great as its so light and portable, I love reading in my bed for an hour before I sleep, or even more so reading on holiday in the sun sweating out the hangover from too many cocktails the night before
My ideal favourite place to read would be on a secluded beach. However, I am more likely to use a kindle on public transport on the way to work!
i love to read anywhere , but my best place is a small quiet spot in clumber park NT
I ready anywhere I possibly can but my favourite place is in bed because I know I can read for as long as I want to without being disturbed.
My other half would say he doesn’t like to read…but I keep finding his kindle in the toilet.
(Well not actually IN the toilet….but you know what I mean)
I love to read in the bath (but not with a kindle)
in the car as a passenger, or even when stuck in traffic as a driver!

At home – when I finally can put my feet up after a long day in the office.
On the go – when I am travelling, on the train or flights.
I read anywhere and mainly on my commute to work and seems to make a long and tedious journey enjoyable.
On the train and on the beach

In my lunch break at work or in the bath, anywhere i can get 5 minutes to myself really!
I love to read snuggled up in bed.
I love reading in bed and on a sun lounger! But one of my favourite simple pleasures in life is a Sunday in, when it’s raining outside, PJ day with my little boy, films and books by the fire. Can’t beat it.
under the duvet with a torch old stylie
I love reading in bed and this e’reader would be great fingers crossed!

down by the river tavy on a lovely sunny day
In bed , relaxing, the perfect night cap
In the bath
At the end of my garden under a little silver birch tree where I have made a little snug with cushions and a gazebo, if the weathers sunny and the wind reedy I can drift off into another world.
Anywhere and everywhere!
I enjoy reading on long haul flights, a good book seems to make the flight go more quickly
I like to sit amongst the trees on Canncok Chase, which is a five minute walk away from my house, I take a picnic basket with me and sit in the sunshine (when we have it!) with my back against an old oak tree. Heaven
in bed with the door shut so i can have peace and quiet

I like to read in bed especially when I can hear the rain beating down outside and its all nice and cosy and warm inside and I can get lost in the book and my imagination.

on the bus
in the garden whilst my daughters play
on the beach in portugal when i go in september
in bed before I go to sleep
There are two places I love to read. In the summer, reading by an ice blue swimming pool is perfection. In contrast, in the winter, next to the log burner, whilst it snows outside, there is nothing better than to lose yourself in a book whilst you are all comfy inside on the sofa!
in a nice hot bubbly bath
In my car! Parked up during my lunch break, somewhere with a nice view, preferably, with a sandwich and a book.
In a nice relaxing bath, full of bubbles.

The bath has to be a favourite, if I don’t fall asleep lol
Waiting rooms. You can almost forget the scary thing you’re waiting for…
I love reading in the hyde park under a lovely tree
In the Gym, it balances on the bike much better than a book and takes my mind away from the exercise
Anywhere that I can relax and escape from the world around. While eating lunch in a frenetic canteen, on the busy commuter bus or relaxing in the bath.
In the bath, next thing I know I’ve been soaking for an hour, time flies when I’m reading!
On my allotment, nice and peaceful!
I read in the park while the kids are happily playing in the sandpit, or if I have to make a journey on public transport (not often!) then it passes the hours away quickly! Otherwise I read on the sofa & often fall asleep with my head on a book!
I read in the bedroom before going to sleep, I also like reading with children in schools and libraries. Last but not least I read with my kids at home.
love to read anywhere if im honest but especially curled up in bed or on the beach!
On a sun lounger in my garden on a hot day.
Definitely on the beach – I can read for hours laying in the sun and never get bored!
In a field under my favourite tree.
on the tube
Outside in the sun enjoying the warm weather… or tucked up in bed when the British weather is as unpredictable as ever!
On the stairs
at my table in my back garden, cup of coffee and a chocolate digestive and I’m in paradise!
Hanging upside down as I like it all to go into my head
I like to read by the computer (I’m studying programming), on the sofa, on the train and in bed
I like to curl up on my bed.
In bed. Snuggled and warm. Great time to read
To the caravan, less to pack
When ever i get a chance to be alone, i love getting into bed and reading. Good luck everyone =)

I love to read in the bath. It is very relaxing but if you happen to drop off the paper your are reading sometimes becomes just a soggy mess.
In bed and at work…
In bed as it’s the only place I get any peace!!!
in my car during my lunch break
Whenever i get some alone time from the kids! i love reading in a warm bubble bath .
in bed !!!
I love reading but with 5 children find that they keep pinching my bookmarks etc – a kindle would solve all those problems!! I would have more time to read as i wouldnt have to scan the pages wondering where i left off the story!! My favourite place to read is in bed!
A Nice Relaxing Cruise!
In the bath
Down in the garden chalet – away from distractions like grandsons!
I would use on the Tube, much lighter than standard books and easier to carry around

On holiday
I love to read anywhere, but reading out in the garden on a sunny day, and in bed after getting myself cosy are my favourite places to read.
I like to read in bed, late at night when its usually very quiet.
On the train on my way to work as wouldnt have chance to read otherwise
I have a book in my bag at all times but my favorite reading place is in my newly erected garden shed, as it’s not a shed for tools but for relaxing. It had a comfortable rocking chair & a big beanbag also a table, blanket & some candles. If you can’t find me that’s where I’ll be!
On a train on a long journey – makes the time pass quicker and also stops random people who you will never see again relating their entire life history to you
On a sun lounger on holiday somewhere hot, whilst the kids play happily in the pool. Bliss!
Under the duvet – especially on a dark, rainy evening
In a hammock. Preferably with the Caribbbean sea lapping at the sand and palm trees swaying gently in the cooling breeze.
Oh! And a cute waiter bring me endless Margaritas.
Okay, I’m dreaming now. (Note to self: Too much reading gives makes your imagination go into overdrive!)
I have special bench in my local park where I enjoy a good book
I read mine anywhere I can – I love it SO much that I want my Mum to have one too – if I won, I’d give it to her, love her!
I like to read….with my kittens
I only ever read in bed
Any time, any place, anywhere. Sadly, there are never enough hours in the day to read all the great books that are sat waiting for me to lose myself in. I have been practising for 60 years but the list just keeps growing!!!!!!
I often go onto Dartmoor National Park which is just up the road from me. I love reading there. Lots of atmosphere and quiet space.
In the bath – its about the only place I get time to myself!
In a sunny garden
In Hyde Park, under a tree.
tends to be mainly in bed before I go to sleep
Hanging upside down from a palm tree drinking coconut juice…
If it’s a good book, I will read it anywhere, and everywhere.
On the roof on a warm evening, overlooking the city
Curled up on the sofa with the dog at the other end
I like to read in the garden, in bed,in my lunchbreak and in a waiting room. I wish I could read when travelling but it makes me feel sick
When it’s sunny in the Park, when it’s rainy in bed.
on the train
Sitting on my mothers verandah in Oz
on the beach
I love reading in my big old, comfy, squashy, tweed-covered armchair next to the fireplace in our sitting room, especially when there’s a blazing fire crackling away on a cold winter’s night.
