The Perfect Space for Reading

Daily writing prompt
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

The perfect space for reading for me is my bed. I can read some and fall asleep. Most books make me sleepy, and the ones that keep me awake make me happy. It’s a win-win.

As for writing, I’m not sure. Last time I wrote a book was before Internet was a thing. I’ve tried writing some short stories after but, let’s say, I couldn’t figure out the right space. Maybe I need something appropriate, like a medieval castle with a Rapunzel tower.

Currently reading Infinity Gate, an unusual sci-fi that has good and bad moments. I hope it gets a separate blog post.

The Overflow Shelf

We don’t have lots of space for books and unfortunately I’m able to read and collect them at a pace that’s not sustainable and turns books into clutter. We are experimenting with an overflow shelf to resolve the problem. The way it works is that once I have no space to place a new book, I have to pull out an old one and add it to the overflow shelf for donation.

This is how the overflow shelf looks right now. The local library asked for more Lee Child books and will get some. I hope other people appreciate the latest trend with the Jack Reacher books more than I did.

Vitosha Boulevard and the National Palace of Culture (NDK). We reached the shortest days of the year. Less darkness ahead of us.

Happy Holidays!
