Reading nooks: You couldn't pry me out of here!

I'm currently reading a fascinating book, the most recent selection for my all-ladies-bookclub, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It happens every time I find a riveting book; I want to neglect everything else and just read! With this as my inspiration, I've corralled for you some of my very favorite nooks for reading. Enjoy!

I know this implies a different season, but this where I would be (hot cocoa in hand, wrapped in a blanket) while the Boyf is out skiing. Oh yes.

I love this adobe-type architecture for its nooks and crannies and creamy textured walls. I must post about how my love for it started (my favorite picture book when I was a kid!) Kathryn Ireland is a genius.

Making use of a "nothing" nook makes me extremely happy. Built in shelf for books, cushions for a seat, and natural light from a window. An example of how simple design is good design.

Ahhh, daybeds. Putting a daybed in Boyf's man cave was one of the best decisions we made when we moved in here.

I'm not crazy for the sheep dog pouf, but I love all the plush cushions on the bench. And that light fixture is a show stopper. The moody paint helps set the tone for the space, no? Check out the whole space, and take note of the pops of shocking pink throughout. Bold!

Florals and saturated colors. I'm in. Except I would turn all those pillows. Pillows propped on a corner really annoy me. That green on the mirror is fresh and very now.

Love that colorful Mexican-inspired print. I have one that is similar and I think it adds energy and fun to a wall.

Tell me that's extra storage under there? Ever-necessary.

Rustic earth tones are cozy.

Beachy and casual.
