Review Copy Cleanup (Challenge #2): Cuddle Up With a Book

The goal of the Cuddle Up With a Book Challenge is to share your favourite place to read. We love pictures - but if that's not possible, a description will do too (: Tell us why you love it! And maybe you have some reading habits you would love to share. Do you listen to music while reading? Or can you only read during the night?

My favourite place to read has to be on my bed, curled up under blankets with a cup of tea and a good book to read. As you can see, my laptop never strays too far away from where I'm reading, and my bed protector, Cameron, is there to make sure that the evil, invisible book gremlins don't kidnap my current reads while I'm gone. (They don't like the Kindle, though. It's not as tasty as a good book.)



When I'm not reading in my bed, I'm curled up in my favourite chair, beneath my electric blanket. There's really nothing better than a good, cozy reading spot.


If you look really closely, you can see my teacup mug, which is drenched in little pictures of cups as well as all the stuff that has to get done during the day. It's one of my absolute favourite mugs. Also, you can see my messy bookshelf. Eventually, I'll get it all nice and reorganised, but there hasn't been much time between school, work and reading!


So what does your favourite reading spots look like? I'd love to see them!

Review Copy Cleanup (Challenge #1): Show Me Your Pile



For more information about Review Copy Cleanup, click the banner in the right hand column and then participate with us so that you can review books in the future without all the stress of a huge pile of books waiting for you!


Here's my pile. Kaitlyn has none because she's less of a review requester and more of a 'whatever's on my bookshelf' person. I'll figure out a way to change that soon!

These are all in no particular order and are most likely showing up alphabetically because I'm scrolling through my Kindle to figure out what I need to read. That's how bad it is.

Neglected Past Review Requests:

Angel Evolution (The Evolution Trilogy, #1)   Five (Elemental Enmity, #1)   The New Death and others   Survival,  YA Paranormal Romance (Book 1 of The Guardians of Vesturon) 

From Publishers/Book Tours:

Hunted   Skater Boy   Whispering Hills

NetGalley:

Better   Lies Beneath (Lies Beneath #1)   Unshakeable Faith   Pure (Pure, #1)   Solitary    Slipping Reality   Wanderlove 

To be quite honest, I thought there were more books that I had to read and review, but apparently not! Yay!

What are your lists like?

I'm sure that you all have had that feeling of being a new blogger, and while it is a wonderful feeling, getting into the book blog community and all, I know that it's caused a lot of havoc on my poor Kindle. Ravishing NetGalley and whatever book review groups that I could find on Goodreads has added a nice little pile of books that I have to read and have yet to get around to, so my plan is to join the challenge that Vicky and Celine have started with their Review Copy Cleanup.

There will be weekly challenges and fun giveaways courtesy of Vicky and Celine, who have decided to add some motivation to the process.

The concept of taking on a challenge and having the chance to participate in it with others is something that I'm thrilled to do, so if you're interested in joining, head on over to Vicky's blog: Book, Biscuits & Tea or Celine's blog: Nyx Book Reviews to sign up and join in on the fun. Also, if you're on twitter, join in by communicating with others at the hashtag #RCCleanup and we'll have a fun March getting all of our reviews and readings out of the way!
