      Look around your tent to see where you want to set up your reading space. Your reading corner should not interfere with your sleeping space. Place a pillow or small bean bag chair in your reading corner.

      Position two to three of favorite books in a small cardboard file box and leave some room in the box to add your favorite snacks. Sit the box beside your sitting area. If a cardboard file box is too big for the tent, use a book bag for your books and your snacks.

      Turn on your tent lamp. Place it on the other side of your pillow or bean bag chair. Once you have all of your equipment in place, you can relax on your bean bag chair, pull out a book and start reading.
