The idea behind 'The Nook' came when brainstorming in my little green notebook (visible in the photo above) about what I wanted this blog to be. I knew that I wanted to extend the idea of 'the lamp post' into the places that I enjoyed reading, the spaces that inspire me to write and the bookshops I stumble across and love to explore.
Growing up I always had a 'reading nook'; a literary safe haven of sorts. It was and still is somewhere I could retreat to with a good book, a cup of tea and the obligatory cosy blanket. I eventually want my bookshop to be like this...minus the blanket... although who am I to judge if you rock up in a snuggie. What I am trying to say is that I believe enjoying a good book is as much about the actual story as it is about the environment you read it in. So this part of my blog will be dedicated to the reading nooks of the world, beginning with mine and growing with the willingness of others to share their own. I present to you...my very own reading nook.
