Happy National Book Lovers Day! This week, the Curious ‘Cat asked Villanovans, “What is your favorite reading spot?”

Mike Sgier, Access Services Specialist: [Currently reading Alec: The King Canute Crowd by Eddie Campbell.] “My ideal location for reading is at a coffee shop. I enjoy the atmosphere.”

Sarah Wingo, Liaison Librarian English & Theatre: [Just finished Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik.] “I enjoy reading in the hammock in my backyard.”

Luisa Cywinski, Director of Access Services: [Currently reading A Meditation on Murder by Robert Thorogood; accessed through Interlibrary Loan. The BBC series “Death in Paradise” (available on Netflix) is based on the novel.] “On a weekend morning, on my sofa, with a cup of coffee and my cats curled up next to me. It’s purrfect!”

Laura Hutelmyer, Electronic Resource & Special Acquisitions Coordinator: [Currently reading The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny.] “The corner of my sofa so I can look out the window.”

Jesse Flavin, Access Services Specialist: [Currently reading Ghostwritten by David C. Mitchell; available at Falvey.] “My comfy couch. I read two pages, put it down, contemplate what I read and then fall asleep. It’s not intentional, but it always seems to happen that way.”

Laura Bang, Digital & Special Collections Assistant: [Currently reading The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield.] “In a comfy, oversized  armchair with a cup of tea.”
