I stashed my typewriter in there and some books. Great use of a closet though!Jess Storkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001356586353583612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-62356040972231934282012-06-22T08:45:51.454-04:002012-06-22T08:45:51.454-04:00What's it about the 28th... so many things com...What's it about the 28th... so many things coming together.

It is the "quiet floor". I go to a corner where there are these big chairs and I sit with my back against one arm and my legs over the other. On the wall opposite there is a big piece of modern art that I didn't used to like but now has grown on me, just the way that William Carlos Williams poem about the wheelbarrow did. Plus when I look up there is a big, wrap-around window looking way out onto campus.Pixilatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210054367831103892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-51311581115062297042012-06-19T19:01:12.883-04:002012-06-19T19:01:12.883-04:00My favorite space as a child was on my bed at home...My favorite space as a child was on my bed at home, in "the pit" at our school library, and in a cushioned, claw-footed bathtub at the public library. Now I read on my window seat or in a comfy chair. <br /><br />What a great space you have created for the young people who visit your home!Library Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460917654300703097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-69783898894306562772012-06-19T14:59:18.359-04:002012-06-19T14:59:18.359-04:00That is a wonderful nook!

I wish I had a spare closet so I could make one.<br />My current reading place is outside next to my herb garden, covered with a tulle tent that hangs from a tree and keeps the mosquitoes at bay. In fact, I just came from there, where I finished the copy of The Great Unexpected that a friend brought me from BEA. It was so lovely! I'm walking around with that happy "I just read a wonderful story" fullness in my heart, and I just had to thank you. Brava.Faith E.

The Hardy Boys had me over and over. (wisp... is that a verb?)

I loved to read and I recall many special reading places: beside a nearby creek, in the middle of a meadow, beneath a tree or on a branch, the front porch, the wooden fence near the barnyardKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652954536843347233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-25160841387742741582012-06-18T12:50:14.440-04:002012-06-18T12:50:14.440-04:00I'm able to read almost everywhere; Now, my be...I'm able to read almost everywhere; Now, my bed or my sofa are my favorite places.
