Favorite Places to Read

 This one feels a little ironic since I've rarely left my house in the past year and a half, and in all that time, not to go somewhere and read. In my house, I mostly read on the couch, occasionally in the armchair or in bed. I wouldn't really describe any of those as "favorite" so much as convenient though. There's one place I can think of in my house to read that I do regard as special, and I've written about it below. Otherwise, I've come up with some places from my past or imagined future :-)

I miss coffee shops so much! Most of them haven’t reopened here in Toronto yet.

A great list! Window seats are great! I have a bay window that I will sit in sometimes to read. At the moment, though, it's full of craft supplies and plants.

When you get the chance, I hope you stop by my post: https://readbakecreate.com/10-books-with-travel-locations-in-their-title/

I love reading in a coffeeshop with a coffee and pastry with me.

My husband is always trying to talk me into building a window seat in our dining room for reading. Maybe one day I will. I hope you build your ideal window seat and that you enjoy it very much.

I spent a lot of time reading at carrel desks... It's a place I haven't seen on many lists this week.

Here's my TTT list.

Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....
