Tuesday Tea: Do you have a favorite spot to read?
Or reading snack? Or favorite cuppa?
Inside or outside? Sitting or lying down? Favorite chair or anywhere? We’re curious about whether you have a favorite spot to read — and if there are any other important details that transform your experience from good to great.

My favorite place to read now is our bed, which is boring, so I'll tell you about my favorite place to read when I was 13: in the rowboat on the lake beside my grandmother's cottage in Michigan. I remember going through stacks of Spider-Man and Iron Man comics, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a couple of my grandfather's thrillers, and, oddly, a book by Joan Rivers called Having a Baby Can Be a Scream1.

I love to read just before bed, preferably with the window right next to me open and a blanket pulled up to my chin. (In the summer, the blanket is replaced with a cool sheet, and I have the fan at the foot of the bed pointed directly at me.) I turn out all the lights, switch on Kindle dark mode, and pop in a pair of earplugs. It’s so cozy and quiet! I think of it as the adult equivalent of reading with a flashlight under the covers. (Second choice is a train traveling somewhere exciting with a cup of something hot on the little table in front of me.)

Which was Rivers’ comic memoir about giving birth to her daughter Melissa Rivers. The covers are horrendous. Thank you, Google, for filling in the blanks. —Mel
When I read in bed, I get too sleepy in about ten minutes. My favorite is sitting (usually on the couch) with a dog in my lap as a Kindle holder
I mostly read on my bed because that's just the convenient spot, but on Sunday afternoons or when I'm on vacation I read outside on the patio in either my lounge chair or hammock. I live in the Caribbean so I have a lovely view of the sea from my room/patio.
