It’s the seventh night of the Extrava-Hanukkah Giveaway! Only two nights left – so let’s get this one going, eh?
I hope you’ve been having a lovely holiday and are surrounded by warm and delicious things, and possibly warm and delicious people, if you’re into that kind of thing (I hope not. Warm people are good. Eating people… not so much.)
So that took a turn.
Anyway, perhaps you’re surrounded by everyone and everything you love, or perhaps you need some time to yourself to recharge and read. Or both! (I really hope you’re not surrounded by cannibals.)
Today’s giveaway:
A Kindle Paperwhite WiFi with Special Offers!
And you’re going to want to put books on it, I presume, so we’ll add a $25 gift card to go with it. Woo!
All you need to do to enter is tell us where is your favorite place to read? Even if it’s not real, or if it’s far away, share one of your favorite locations to read and relax, and you’re entered to win.
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Must be 18 years of age and ready to turn up your Paperwhite brightness to eleven. Unless it hurts your eyes. Then do whatever is most comfortable for you! Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Comments will close at or near 12pm ET on Saturday 31 December 2016 and winners will be announced shortly afterward.
Update: Jamie is our winner! We have one more giveaway left! Best of luck!


Bed- when there’s nothing else I have to do…
I took my little kitchen table out of my inset kitchen window and put a cozy couch there. It is my favorite place to read because it’s close to the tea kettle….and the food.
Under the skylight at the library while it’s raining
In my comfy bed with my down comforter! I think there’s a draft in my living room so I can’t get comfortable there
In my favorite chair with my feet up on the ottoman and a dog by my side.
Everyday favorite is in bed!
Favorite reading day, on the shore of Glacier National Park Lake McDonald near Apgar Visitor Center on a beautiful day late June 2015.
I can read anywhere! I love to read! Give me a good book and a glass of wine and I am all set. I do a lot of reading at the kitchen table, living room couch, porch chairs. May all time ultimate favorite is reading in bed, on a rainy day with a nice warm blanket on. AHHHH! What a great feeling. Thanks! Happy New Year!

I love to read in bed, propped up with pillows and cats snoozing beside me. When I was in college, the Student Union had a combination bookstore/library in a big room-with the most comfy chairs. It was a beautiful old building and a gorgeous room, and I would sit there when I had time between classes, and read to my hearts content.
In bed, obviously.
Confession: I’m from a big family, and am now a newish mom, so my favorite spot is the only place where I’m guaranteed some privacy-the bathroom.
In front of the fire (and presuming people will leave me alone…)!
The sofa in the den early in the morning with no one around but cats. In the summer listening to the birds and in the winter with the fire going (ok the fire’s on the TV but still).
I love to read in the cozy recliner in my tiny home office, with a warm puppy in my lap
Wow, what a great question. I’m having so many memories of reading tucked into couches and behind beds so that no one can see me and bother me :). Now that I’m an adult and I’m not afraid to be seen reading romance, I love reading in public!! Transit, coffee shops, parks etc.
Favorite place to read is while lying on the couch or propped up in bed!
My favorite reading spot is snuggled in my big oversized chair, or curled up in bed.
I read in bed. Cliche, but the best when my tiny dog is curled up under the comforter, asleep against my hip. Sometimes she snores. It’s my reading soundtrack!
The park on a sunny day.
In bed.
The sofa with a blanket and a dog. Or the bed surrounded by pillows and my heavy comforter, or the beach on a cozy bench with pillow seat. Seriously I could probably go on cause I just love to read anywhere.
Curled up on my couch with something I’ve already seen playing in the background
Reading in bed. But I listen in the car, shower and at the office.
My favorite place to read is wherever I am traveling. My husband likes to photograph, so I always bring a book (or nowadays, ebooks), and I read while he shoots. My all-time favorite place was the Salisbury Cathedral. I was re-reading Jane Austen works all throughout that trip.
My chair next to the window.
My favorite place to read is on the couch, at my desk, or in bed with coffee or hot chocolate. I’ll read anywhere, but these are my most comfortable.
My favorite place to read is on my sofa, curled up with my blanket and my Westie.
My favorite place to read is under the covers with a flashlight, after everyone else has gone to bed. Fun as a kid, still fun now. It’s just about the only ‘me’ time I get, most days.
My couch!
I love reading in bed, propped up against the headboard with a giant amount of pillows in my back to make it more comfortable and a large cup of tea on my nightstand.
Curled up on my couch unless it’s a weekend morning then I like to stay curled up in bed.
Curled up on my couch with a cup of tea (or white hot chocolate as of late). And maybe a kitty by my side.
Nothing beats reading in bed, with a hot tea or cold lemonade
Alone on the couch in the living room.
I love to read in bed.
I’m going to be boring and say in bed, but that’s honestly the truth! Though there’s something so lovely about reading on the train – not the subway here in NYC, but on longer haul train trip above ground with the scenery passing you by…I don’t know why, but it’s such a happy image for me!
At home, anywhere that’s comfortable!
My favorite place to read is in bed. I’ll even lie down I the afternoons, just so I can have some quiet reading time!
Camping. First thing in the morning, under the awning with a cup of coffee. Or in the evening next to the campfire.
I can read anywhere, but my preferred place is in bed, snuggled under the covers.
