Even though I am always running around town to blog events, happy hours or meeting up with friends, I am a huge book worm. One of my top favorite things is laying in bed and reading for hours. I always have a book in my purse too. Well, my fellow book worms, here are some of the best spots in LA to curl up with a good one:
