The challenge for this week was to take some photos and post on them, linking to other blogs participating in the challenge.
I wanted to do something book-related but a little different from the piles of books I photograph for my monthly purchase update.
So the photo I have taken is of my reading chair – a bit dull perhaps but some significant books have been read in this chair – complete with footstool, cushions and a selection of blankets for those winter days when the ankles can get a bit cold. If you look closely you can see numerous piles of books in the background – these are stacked on the floor while we go through the process of commissioning bespoke bookshelves having finally admitted that we’ve run out of room. That might be a future post (or two) so watch this space.
I was pleased to see Karen’s post which gave me comfort that I’m not the only person with a significant tbr pile.
I meant to take a few more pictures but got sidetracked by work stuff so this will have to do for now. But just you wait until those bookshelves are installed……

Your book chair looks like a great place to relax and get some serious reading done. I’m a bit envious. 🙂

Thanks all – it really is a very comfy chair, the only sad thing is I don’t spend as much time in it as I would like.

I think that’s the most inviting reading nook I’ve ever seen! I’m really envious. But you’re definitely not the only one with a large TBR pile – mine is getting big enough to need its own apartment.

I love my own reading nook, but your looks absolutely wonderful. I really want a chair with a foot stool. Your spot by the window is great.

I love your chair, it looks so comfy! I want one too! I have the book nook, now I need my own chair….as for commissioning shelves, my husband finally gave in and we went to Ikea and bought some more – will be posting a picture shortly because I’m rather proud of my brand-new reading corner in the living room now! The TBR pile – yikes, mine toppled over ages ago! Now i have smaller piles and I think in almost every room in the house!!! lol
