All this wintery weather has got me leaning towards dark wood and moody home libraries. I hope you enjoy this week’s Reading Spaces, which is a departure from my usual light and bright spaces!

Reading Spaces: Happy New Year!
by Shannon Fox
Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Yes? Well, I’m going to do it anyway. I hope 2018 brings you all the books you want, the comfiest places to read them in, the most delicious cups of tea, and the most tolerant of significant others to turn a blind eye to the piles of books slowly overtaking the house.

Reading Spaces: Secret Passage Bookshelf
by Shannon Fox
I don’t know why, but whenever I see a bookshelf that slides or swings to reveal a hidden passageway or room beyond, I always think of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Which makes this Reading Spaces post kind of holiday appropriate since the children cross over into a Narnia that is frozen in perpetual winter. All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Reading Perch
by Shannon Fox
I always look forward to the holidays. Not merely because they’re fun, sparkly, and overflowing with tasty eats and drinks, but because everything slows down just a little bit and I can manage to squeeze in just a little bit more reading time. I’ve been reading very slowly this month, but with two bookclub books due (that I have yet to even start) I … Read More Reading Spaces: Reading Perch

Reading Spaces: Rustic Libraries
by Shannon Fox
I visited Colorado last weekend and even though it isn’t particularly rural where my family and friends live, going home to the mountains always puts me in that country frame of mind. This week’s Reading Spaces is dedicated to rustic home libraries and reading nooks! All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: More Cozy Reading Corners
by Shannon Fox
I’m traveling a lot this month which means a good portion of my reading time is going to happen on a plane or in an uncomfortable chair in the airport, trying to ignore other people. On my last flight, the guy sitting in the row behind me insisted on singing -SINGING!- to himself which meant I had to drown him out with my headphones … Read More Reading Spaces: More Cozy Reading Corners
