I’d pick a quiet little nook in the attic, because the old wooden beams make a natural echo for soft music. Set a low, round table with a single brass lamp that gives a warm amber glow. Arrange a small bookshelf on the wall, but only a few volumes—each neatly labeled with a tiny brass tag. On the table, a ceramic mug of bubble tea, the sugar sticks neatly arranged in a small jar, and a paper lantern to soften the light. Play a playlist of acoustic vinyl, and let the only interruption be the gentle ticking of a wall clock. The book I’d bring along? “The Shadow of the Wind” – its labyrinthine plot pairs nicely with the playful bubbles and the subtle nostalgia of a cozy corner.
