Nook

Yesterday I wrote about creating this nook cover. Today I am thinking about the word "nook." Or rather, the thing. "Nook" just sounds so darn cozy to me! And I have to say, if I was going to purchase an e-reader, I would go with the Nook just because they picked the better name. "Kindle" is not bad, and it's used a lot in Jeremiah (I noticed that as I read it this week). But if you're gonna sit down and delve into a written world, where would you want to do it?

In preparing for my future reading hours, I have considered specifications of what I would want in my nook. For me, the most important thing is comfort- you could be there for hours. I would like some kind of cushioned back rest, like a husband pillow. Also, lighting is super important. My eyes often start hurting if my lighting is too artificial and yellowy; solution- windows, big ones. Or just one big one.

I've done a little browsing and a little pinning, and here are my starter examples:

This one is great because it is super cozy, has lots of pillows, and seems to have an overhead window to let light in! Also, its looks like there's a shelf to place your cup, phone or other things you need nearby. 

I like this window, but it does not allow for much back support. Still a work in progress, I say. 

I also like the idea of your book shelves surrounding it, or of it being almost literally a whole in your wall. There's a really great reading area in the movie Inkheart. I wouldn't mind having that library!
