Indoors because I love to sit by the window and listen to the weather and I really prefer to not have to keep moving around like I do outside.

Location doesn't really matter as long as the book is good, but... My ideal reading spot would be inside an old country home's library, with a window seat, tons of real cushy pillows and butterfly windows. On a warm spring day, sitting on those comfy cushions, windows wide open with the sounds and scents of nature, mingling with the smells of the library, filtering in and out of the story I'm reading, fueling my imagination. That is my perpetual heaven.

I have a wonderful covered patio outside. So when it rains, I like to grab a blanket pull my feet up in the chair and sit there and read. That's my most favorite spot to read.

I prefer reading indoors, I burn easily in the sun and if I read outdoors I get sunburned everywhere. Plus it's usually really hot where I live, so outside isn't the best place to be for hours.

Both - I love nothing more than to curl up at home with a book or my kindle, but I can also be seen walking to walk with my nose in a book or glued to the screen of my kindle. The other place I love to read is on a bus, the journey is less annoying if you can lose yourself in a good book and ignore the screaming children or other people's loud phone conversations.

I'm a big fan of the outdoors, but don't do it as often as I'd like.

Location is dictated by weather. A must indoors, for the Canadian winter. But as soon as possible, I'll be out on my balcony ,with a blanket,if needed, and my book at had, with a warm cocoa.

Whichever will provide me comfort and solitude. Usually it's indoors but outdoor reading can also be fun especially when surrounded by nature

I like the idea of reading outdoors but usually end up reading indoors in the evening when it's dark

Indoors. I like to snuggle up on the couch or in the bed to read which helps me relax after a long day.

I like to be curled up beside the fire with a coffee and a big fuzzy blanket in the winter and sitting on my deck with an iced tea in the summer.

I love reading indoors in my room in the winter because my rooms pretty cosy I have books everywhere and photos on my walls with fairy lights and everything and in the summer I love going in my garden or to the park/beach (if you can call anything in england an actually beach) to read, it relaxes me being outside :)
