What are your reading essentials? In other words, what are some items you always need around you while you're reading?

I can only read comfortably and effectively on my bed, the lights in a dim setting. With, a bottle of water and/ or ginger ale.

My book is really all I need! I literally read my book on my couch, at my computer, in line at the store, walking down the halls at our school, going potty, at my desk at school if the students are doing quiet work such as a test, walking around the room as I monitor their work, inside of a restaurant, outside at a park, and more.

I will say that my favorite place to read is on my couch when it is sunny outside and it is QUIET.

The one place I CANNOT read is in my bed. LOL

I just need my book and sometimes a nice cup of tea.

Vicki, I love to walk and read! I trip much less if I have a book than if I don't.

I use to do that, but I don't really go anywhere anymore so I can't. >.>

That doesn't make sense, right? But whatever works! LOL

If it's not too personal of a question, may I ask why you don't go anywhere? Is that by choice or a health issue or??

I have an anxiety disorder and it's hard for me to go out a lot of the time. I mostly travel by car now I feel safer that way. :)

Essentials? I just need a book and I am gone in the world of that book. Just ask my boyfriend, I will just open a book and then I am just not there any more. :) Which he finds amazing that I can just tune out like that.

Music, a cup of tea and a blanket to snuggle up in.

Bookbuyer, thank you for sharing that with me. I'm glad that you have GR and awesome friends on her to have something fun and interactive to do from your home! I hope your disorder improves too. :o)

TY. :)

I can read about anywhere. I do prefer to read paperbacks at night, but if I am going to somewhere, my kindle is a must. I have over a 100 books right now on it, so if we get stuck, no problem!

Honestly all I really need is my bed and sometimes I'll need a cup of hot chocolate with me :P

My book (obviously) but sometimes I love a drink, hot or cold depends on the season, and a little snack

I can read anywhere and only really need my book and a drink. but my most favourite environment to read it to be in bed with the candles lit and my fairy lights on if its in the night. I will have either a bottle of juice or hot chocolate and a few snacks to pick at and my current read with me.

Reading space usually my art studio
Snacks + something to drink
And music that goes with the book I'm reading almost like a soundtrack :)

I just need my book and something to drink! I mostly listen to music while I read but I can also read without the music.

My favorite blanket and a comfortable pillow. These are must-haves. And I would like some tea too, please.

My fleece blanket and a cup of tea.

Usually coffee and reading go hand in hand for me. Any time I pick up a book my coffee craving kicks in.

I can only read at my desk or on my bed or on the couch. And I have to have a water bottle with me.

I need:
- a blanket, even just to cover my feet
- hair tied up
- glasses.... bc I am blind
- bookmarks
- SILENCE
- 2 normal pillows and a european pillow to lean back on

I prefer a glass of water, a pen, and blankets surrounding me, but if that's not available all I really need is a quiet area.

A coffee or a tea is a must when I read. I'd prefer it to be somewhere quiet, but if I am completely lost in a book, it doesn't matter. :)

I have to be somewhere where I can relax not something stiff. I also need good light and decent quiet
