In Atlanta's hustle—from traffic jams to tailgates— a reading nook is your ticket to unplug. But with pets crashing the party, comfort meets claw-proof. Astoria Artifacts shares how to craft these sanctuaries, blending plush picks with family flow for guilt-free page-turns.
Whether in bookish Brookhaven or eclectic East Atlanta, nooks foster calm amid the storm. U.S. reading stats show 50% dip post-kids/pets, but our setups flip that—drawing from local lit lovers who've made "just one chapter" a ritual.
