"the reading nook"

oTis loves the word NOOK

Have you got a bookcase? Have you got an armchair? Then you have all the ingredients necessary for a cozy/cosy reading nook.  Leave your phone in the other room, extract a book from the shelf, maybe switch on a nearby floor lamp, and voila, the best way we can think of to spend a winter evening.  The mood of your nook can easily be changed depending on the colour of your bookshelves - a dark moody colour creates an enveloping feel, or paint them in a bright red or yellow for a more uplifting atmosphere. via
