Feature and Follow #52 -Favorite Reading Spot Away From Home
YAY it’s Friday! Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature and Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.The Feature and Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to meet more new bloggers!
What sets this Hop apart from others, is that our hosts feature two blogs. Every week they will each showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow both their featured as well as our lovely hosts as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your Feature and follow post. I prefer being followed via e-mail, RSS / Bloglovin’ or Google+; or you can like my facebook page, or even follow me on Twitter.
Book Vacay: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to go to read other than your home)
If I am actually on vacation, my fave reading spot is on the beach, on a lounge chair/bed by the sea, where I can just read, listen to the children play, and put my book down to play with them when I want to. I don’t think there’s anything more relaxing to me than a stay at the beach. The sounds of the waves always has a calming effect on me, and I love the smell of salt, the breeze, the sounds of children playing happily. And I love that it is possible to read on the beach, because then I have my favorite place and my favorite pass-time all in one! If I am at home, but we go somewhere else for a while and I can bring a book, my favorite place is in a park, under a tree – where I have a good view of the park so I know where my kids are playing (usually that will be in the sand!) and I won’t get too hot from the sun.
Right now, I’m in Paris (yes, for real!) so I might not be able to comment back as quickly as possible.
What about you? Where is the best destination reading spot for you? Do you have a favorite place where you can both read and feel like it’s a real vacation?
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.

If I am vacationing at the beach it is the only place to read!! 🙂 If I am not at the beach and my room has a balcony then I find that to be a great place to sip an ice tea and read a book! 🙂
Oh, a balcony and ice tea sounds very nice, too, Stormi! I hope I’ll be able to get in some ‘beach-reading’ later this summer 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
That sounds nice! I’m in the midwest so beaches don’t really exist! Other than at a lake! But our weather tends to be too hot and humid for me. Lived here all my life and still cannot stand our weather! So it’s indoors for me! I can read anywhere really as long as I am comfy!
Here’s my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower 🙂
Being comfortable while reading is the number one most important thing! I live near a lake between mountains as well, and it’s very hot and humid here during the summer. But we usually manage to get to the sea once a year, and that is bliss!
Thanks for stopping by Jessica 🙂
That sounds really good. I’m in France too for vacation! But I will visit Paris in August. Oh it’s fantastic, isn’t it? I can wait to see Paris. 🙂
Here is my FF http://between-my-lines.blogspot.fr/2013/07/feature-and-follow-19-reading-out-of.html
Nice, Athina! Are you traveling around in France? If you come towards Geneva in Switzerland, let me know, we could meet up for a coffee and a book discussion 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, I travel around a little. I will definitely let you know. 🙂 Have a great time in France.
I’m back home in Geneva now 🙂 but it’s only 3 hours by train from Paris… I hope you’re having a fantastic time, Athina!
Beach reading sounds very nice, Lexxie. I think reading and listening to my kids as they play is heavenly.
I hope you have lots of FUN today! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Brandee! I’ve had a great Paris trip 🙂
The beach is a great place to read! 😀

Thanks for stopping by Liesel 🙂
I don’t really enjoy being outdoors, but a nice beach house where I can still be inside and see the water and hang out on the beach itself once the sun goes down would be nice. Hope you’re having fun on your trip!
Oh, that sounds heavenly, Traci! I love spending time outside, but your compromise with being inside but having a house in a beautiful setting is great!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I am nowhere near a beach but it would be nice to go to one..alas!
Maybe one day? Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’m rarely away from home, however, I love reading on the beach. It’s just so perfect for a day in the sun and sand. Since I no longer go to the beach regularly…when I am away from home any comfy stop will do. 🙂
🙂 Being comfy is important! We should go to the beach together one time, sit in the sand and read and chat 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Xyra!!
OMG, enjoy Paris *swoon* and I agree, there is absolutely no better place than the beach for reading outdoors or away from home. The sound of the waves and people just chilling and having fun ♥ Plus you get to work on your tan…and cool off in the water whenever you want B-) Great spot Lexxie & happy vaca!!
Thanks Micheline! Paris was totally awesome! And the beach will be in my near future 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
