As a mother of a young child who is just learning “the love of reading,” anytime I can create a space that enhances the experience or invites more book time I am for it. There are so many ways to build a special space for quiet reading.
By adding more pillows to your bed and alternating the direction of pillows and bolsters, your twin bed can become a reading daybed.

Small closets with doors removed or other empty nooks can be a great place to create a reading room.

Lofts are great for relaxing and reading, or you can build a “reading fort” in your child’s room.

Bookshelves are great for keeping your library in order. A comfy chair nearby makes choosing a story easy.

Where is your child’s favorite place to read?

I love reading, too, and my dream reading spot is not just a nook or a corner or a window seat, it's a treehouse! Now that I'm too big for a little treehouse, I hope I can build one for my girls.

I, too, always wanted a reading nook growing up. Our rental home has the perfect spot for a nook in my daughter's room, and it's one of her fav spots: http://flickr.com/gp/nannersp/p3byqE

That's a cozy spot you have there. I also want a reading corner, but I want it by the window.
