Our Favorite Things: Embrace Your Inner Nerd
By Tasnim Eboo
Every year people add to their New Year’s resolutions list, ‘read more books,’ and every year that resolution gets shamelessly trampled by the fast paced woes of daily life. What better way is there to calm down at the end of a busy day than to sit down and read a can’t-put-it-down novel? It’s time to embrace your inner nerd, and take a room or empty area in your home and transform it into your very own reading room! Who hasn’t always wanted a library to curl up by the fire in and snuggle with a good book and a steaming cup of tea? Not to worry fellow readers, now is your chance. This is an ideal way to keep your noggin active and shield yourself from the cold wintery elements. We have selected the perfect items to spruce up your casual living area into a classy, chic, and cozy library.
