Book Blogger Hop

Happy Friday! It's time for the Book Blogger Hop again, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books.

This weeks question is: "Where is your favourite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?"

My reading spot right now is definitely the couch. Next to it is a table with a basket where I keep my books and a lamp with the perfect amount of light for reading. No one is allowed to sit in my spot (it's also my tv watching spot. If you watch The Big Bang Theory, my family often hears me say "that's my spot" in my best Sheldon voice.)

We live in an apartment so I don't have many options for reading spots. When we own a house I hope to have a comfy reading chair inside as well as outside.

How about you, what's your spot?

    My favourite spot is on the GO train whizzing into downtown. Something about movement that makes me so relaxed and ready to get into a good book. When I'm at home - the couch in the living room does the trick.

    I always carry a book with me as well. I almost feel naked if I don't have one with me!

    Thanks for stopping by Fiction Folio!

    Blog Hopper and Friday Follow here! You sound like me. My chair is MY spot. Anyone sitting in it had better move when I walk into the room. Suppose you could say it's my own personal bubble! :D

    My answer is in the cozy two-seater chair in my living room. It's so comfy!

    Follow Friday answer: I am reading Black Magic Lover by Cynthia Cooke, Harlequin Nocturne paperback.

    Followed! Hope you follow back. Happy reading!

    I have my "spots" around the house, but since I live alone, it's not a problem! LOL But when my grandkids visit, they know to not sit in my "spots."

    Thanks for hopping by my blog.

    I love to read where everyone likes to read. I prefer lying in bed.

    Thanks for hopping by my blog!

    I like to read upstairs, away from the noise of the TV. It's easier for me to concentrate there.

    Please don't be jealous, but I have a lovely reading room. Didn't get it till I was fifty, though.

    Happy HOP! I read everywhere but really love just snuggling up under a blanket on my bed because being comfortable is important to me. Can't be sucked into a book if I'm sore from where I'm sitting :)

    HOP on over and visit me at The Bookish Snob

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home.  Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! Annie Butterworth is the landlady of Willow Cottage, a beautiful cottage in the English countryside with a colourful array of guests.  Every guest is encouraged to write their thoughts in the guestbook and do they ever!  Love, loss, happiness, sadness, guilt, affairs, births, and surprises, it’s all in there.  Even Annie’s life gets caught up in the book. As a young widow, Annie herself is going through some changes.  And the appearance of her brother-in-law, celebrity crime writer Oliver Black isn’t helping.  As the guests of Willow Cottage go about their seaside vacations, Annie and Oliver must figure out how to move on in their lives, and most importantly, if they will do so together. The Guestbook by Holly Martin is a lovely, sweet, and unique book.  Written in the format of notes left in the guestbook,

"Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home" by Esi Edugyan

“But where are you from, really?” This is a question that Canadians of all walks of life are often asked.  Part of our identity as Canadians is that we all come from somewhere else, and no matter how long ago, it is a defining part of who we are.   But for many people, this question is about more than where their family came to Canada from.  For many, it brings about a question of home and belonging.  These are the ideas that Esi Edugyan explored in her 2013 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home .  Born in Canada to parents from Ghana, Esi Edugyan has travelled to and lived in various countries, all the while searching for her identity and coming to understand the meaning of home. As an author, Edugyan also reflects on Canadian literature and the notion of the “Canadian story.”  Her wildly successful novel, Half-Blood Blues , was set outside of Canada, and something she often heard was that it was not a typical Canadian novel.  But a
