Scene of the Blog Featuring Ann's Reading Corner!

This week we're visiting a great-grandmother in Iowa whose blog definitely shows her love of reading with an eclectic mix of books reviewed as well as book-related memes and reading challenges.

If you've never visited Ann's Reading Corner, I hope you take this opportunity to do so. Don't forget to say hello while you're there!

Before we check out Ann's creative spaces, remember that you can click on each photo to view them in a larger size. Now let's go visit Ann!


Ann's reading corner in her apartment

This is my little Reading Corner; it is also where I do all my blogging. It is located in a corner of my bedroom, because we live in a small apartment, so I have to use every little nook and cranny to store my books.


Books Ann has read




Now on to the other corner of my bedroom to view the bookcase I put the books I have read. Well, that isn't all of them, because my friends and neighbors borrow some of them after I have finished reading them.









Ann's desk and television area
Now next up is my Desk and TV area. If you notice the bookcase on the Desk is holding books, the second shelf is vintage books. Once in awhile I get a hankering to read a vintage book.

Ann and Miss Molly enjoying some poetry

And last, but not least is a picture of myself and Miss Molly spending a relaxing evening reading Poetry in Ann's Reading Corner.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of My Reading Corner today.


We certainly did, Ann! Thank you so much for taking us on this tour! Small spaces can cause logistical problems, but you seem to have dealt with it all beautifully. As you said above, you've made every inch count. And I love that photo of you and Miss Molly!

Don't forget to stop by next Wednesday when I'll be featuring another book blogger from our worldwide community!

  4. Ann has created such a cozy area to do her reading, ironically one of her favorite genres, cozy mysteries. Not only is her reading corner warm and beautiful, she is too.

  7. Ann has a wonderful smile and a lovely apartment. I have a cat named Molly and another called Miss Emily. Some cats just really need a "Miss" in front of their names, don't they? Thanks, Ann, for sharing with us.

  9. @Barbara...Thank you for your wonderful words. A lady gave me Miss Molly 14 months ago, she called her Mo, but being she is an older cat, I thought she deserved a little respect, therefore, the name Miss Molly. She is a sweet friendly cat, and everyone who visits, well she thinks they love her as much as I do.

  14. @ Elizabeth...I try to keep things cozy. I do have an enclosed porch I like to curl up and read in also. I forgot to photograph it.

    @Debbie...You are right I do love to read, I have bookcases in the spare bedroom, but it is off the kitchen, therefore they get a lot of canned goods stored on them. ; )

    @Leslie...I am glad you enjoyed viewing My Little Corner of the Blog World. Thanks for your kind comment.

    @Bermudaonion...Thanks I like to think I'm Cool... hee hee. A young neighbor girl stopped by and visited me on my enclosed porch a few times this summer, and her mother told me, her daughter said I was AWESOME.. Can't help but love that girl....

  15. @Marie...Thank you for you wonderful comment, especially about my chair... I love La Z Boy Recliners, we have three on my enclosed porch, and two in our Livingroom. They are the only chairs I am comfortable in. As old age catches up with you, your seating arrangements change also.. hehehe

    Miss Molly sends her thanks also.
