Thanks to all those who entered the Favourite place to read - HarperCollins New Zealand competition. The winner of awesome books kindly supplied by HarperCollins New Zealand is Steve who walks and reads:
I am so restless and in such chronic pain that I cannot read while seated so I walk and read with a book in my hand. I understand that Romantic literature was full of young men doing just that. My peripheral vision keeps me from collisions but I once failed to notice my own street that I should turn in to it until I was a couple of blocks down.
Some more favourite places to read:
I like to listen to audiobooks in the car while driving - I just LOVE that I have discovered the BorrowBox app from the library - it has transformed my regular trips to Nelson - those 6 hours just zip by now! Also, curled up in the lazy boy in a patch of sunshine is also pretty rad.
