Top Ten Tuesday-I spy a reader's space

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is book is comfort reads. So, books have always been an escape for me. I don't really have a "comfort read" as all books are basically an escape. Not sure if that makes sense or not. After agonizing way more than I probably should have for today's post, I finally decided to share my main reading space. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. 

I will start by saying that the room that I consider my "reading" space/work space has been many things over the 6 years that we have lived in this house. It started as an office, then went to a guest bedroom, then a sewing room, to a room for our foster children, back to a guest room/study room when my daughter had to do college from home, to a small reading space to what it is now. Just last weekend we switched out a love seat to the red couch you see in the pictures. The red couch was downstairs and was part of our homeschooling room, but since my son graduated it was no longer needed in that space. We had to rearrange this room completely in order for the couch to fit.

I Spy Ten Things This reader wants/needs/has for a comfy reading space:

 1. A comfy couch

2. Fun pillows

3. Cozy blankets -the purple one is a lap blanket my mom made for me and the white one is one that I won from author Jenifer Metzger in a giveaway quite a while back! It is super cozy (from Target) and we won't talk about how often one of my kiddos steals it to wrap up in 😂

4. Plenty of light

5. TBR BOOK cart

6. Extra bookcase with more TBR books 😂

7. Tissues 😂

8. Kindle Pillow stand

9. Books that need to be put away (stacked on couch and on floor)

10. Blog notebook to keep up with posts 

I could add pretty pens, stickers, post-its etc... but you get the picture. Is there anything you would add to this space? What is one of your "must-haves" for your reading space?
