Scene of the Blog Featuring Becky of One Literature Nut!

If you'd like to drool over recent photos taken in Hawaii while you're shivering in your snow-covered homes, head right on over to Becky's blog, One Literature Nut.

This Utah high school English teacher and book blogger extraordinaire spends part of her time in Hawaii, and those photos of hers certainly add zest to what is already a fun blog filled with an eclectic mix of books, films, television and chat.

If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing Becky's blog yet, please take the time to head on over to One Literature Nut-- and don't forget to say hello. (I won't be at all surprised if you find yourself subscribing!)

Before Becky shows all of us her blogging space, don't forget that you can click on each photo to view it full size.

Let me be up front in saying that I love technology. Combining my love of reading and books with the web is such a great opportunity!  However, I'm most often spending my time with things for work.  I'm a full-time English teacher, teaching World Literature, Popular Fiction, and AP Literature.  I also teach online classes for the state of Idaho.  Both are really great jobs, but really keep me busy.  Besides my work, I have spent the past three years in Hawaii, where my mother lives.  I can't take a picture there (sorry), but traveling back and forth between Utah and Hawaii made it necessary to have a good laptop.

Last year I bought my new townhome.  This was my first time buying a home, and although it may seem crazy, it was really exciting to finally have a home office. It's not much, but as you can see, I have a small work area in this upstairs room.  If I could take a panoramic pictures, you'd see that my office is filled with bookcases and books.  What makes an area more homey than shelves of books?

To be quite honest, this is my primary work space.  I often park  myself here on the couch to grade papers, to work online, to blog a little, and to watch some television.

I have my mom's cat, and he tends to like it when I work down here as well, since he can cuddle up beside me and take a nap.

That has to be the most laid back cat I've ever seen, Becky! I can also hear the rumble of purrs when his tummy is scratched.

With the proliferation of laptops, I think many people choose to be somewhere comfy where they feel closer to the people they care about and more plugged in to what's going on in their homes. When Scene of the Blog began, there were more photos of home offices and desks, but now the tide seems to have turned to comfy chairs and couches. Whatever works best is my motto!

Thanks so much for this glimpse into your creative spaces, Becky. We really appreciate it!
