book nook

Cozy reading corner

A book nook is a cozy corner or small space dedicated to reading, often featuring comfortable seating, good lighting, and bookshelves: She curled up in her book nook with a cup of tea.

The term also refers to miniature diorama inserts designed to fit between books on a shelf, creating tiny illuminated scenes—a fantasy alley, a library corridor—visible when you peer between the spines.
