I hate when we get U,S commercials and it isn't for Canada. Especially contests. Often when we finally do get contests for Canada it excludes Quebec so I still can't participate.

Like so many of you guys I take a book with me everywhere I go. If I wouldn't it'd feel like something's missing. My favourite spot of all times was on the beach with the soothing sounds of the sea, but since I can't have that everyday... Where I'm reading depends mostly on the season, and how much time I have on hand. If it's winter: I'm reading in the living room on my couch with a thick blanket thrown over me. If it's summer: I'm reading in my bedroom on the bed by an open window letting the sun shine onto my bed and me. And if I don't have much time I usually just read at night before bedtime, so in bed. Yes, I'm a complicated being and bored by anything oh so fast ;D

I have two places where I usually read. On the floor with my back aginst my bed, next to the shelf where I keep the books I am currently reading, or in my read spinny chair next to a big window.

My favorite place to read is on these two big pillows I have under the window in my room.

On my bed, outside or in the library.

My ultimate favourite place is at my cottage. I love to read in the hammock. It's so soothing because you get a light breeze and there's pine trees all around so you don't just sit in the sun. You can hear the lake noises, boats and stuff, but it's far enough away they're not too loud. However, considering I'm only there for 1-2 weeks a year, I obviously need to find a better place in/around my house.

When it starts to get nice out, I enjoy sitting out on my porch and reading. But with the weather we've been having...

I know. It hasn't stopped snowing for 3 days here (but it also hasn't been accumulating much so that's good). It feels like Christmas instead of Easter.

I know! I love reading on the balcony when I come home from work but it looks like I'll have to wait until May this year

We're having a typical Easter weather here, it was cloudy but pretty warm yesterday. When I'm at my grandparent's house in countryside (where I used to spent the whole summer) I love going to walk, with a book in my bag obiouvsly, and find everyday a different place where sit down and reading.

I'll read pretty much anywhere. I carry a book with me where ever I go just in case I get the chance to read. I have my book next to me at the moment, my kitty's kinda lying on it but it's still next to me. There are times when I'll be online and I'll read in between loading pages, sometimes my computer can be pretty darn slow.

I used to do that in high school when we had really slow internet (back when everyone had really slow internet). I would read a ton just waiting to check my email.
