Saint John Reading Spots


I've been reading since I could talk! I like reading. I like reading so much that by taking my book with me on the bus I've managed to read my way into a deep sleep missing my stop. That of course is annoying but none the less it was a chapter well read and a funny story to tell at the office the next day. The reason why i bring up reading is because I want to share my five favorite spots to read in Saint John.. and no none of them are in the comforts of my own home.

1) The Bus. I love reading on the bus. You all know this from my falling asleep story. The bus is so tranquil sometimes despite all of the traffic and tooting horns you may find in the city.

2) Loyalist Burial Ground. When it is just too hot out, and you need a break from the sun, this is the best place for you to go. With the trees to shade you and the surroundings of a beautiful park, how could you go wrong with this perfect reading spot.

3)Market Slip. Sometimes I just sit on the stairs or if I'm lucky enough to grab a table i will read while intermittently watching volley ball. Especially when I get bored with my book, I am able to switch gears from read mode to super interested sports mode. A real game changer.

4)Harbour Passage. Harbour Passage may be one of my favorite places in the city. I love grabbing a bench and getting lost in the latest series of the epic Twilight... Hey now, don't make fun!

5) Finally the best place to read a book in the City of Saint John is.... drum roll please...for me would have to be on a nice blanket in King Square. You have the best of both worlds, sun and shade. There are flowers and historical monuments surrounding you, you are virtually close to everything and best of all, you get to see all of the people as they pass by. You could spend hours here just reading away, or simply enjoying the sights.

Well now that I have opened your eyes to reading spots in this great city, I hope you are encouraged to pick up a book and try one out. You won't be disappointed. Til next week, this is Saint John Suzy!
