1. Do you have a list of books you'd like to read? 
Yes, I keep a list of books I might want to read in future. It's very long so I'll never run out of books in my lifetime.
2. Where do you get ideas for books you want to read? What kind of books catch your interest?
I get ideas everywhere. When I read blogs or watch vlogs, I keep a note of what people are reading if it sounds of interest to me. I also get ideas from television, social media, library websites, bookstores, people I know and so on. If I've read a book by an author and really loved it, I will start reading other books they've written.
3. What have you read lately?
Currently on my reading list is a Jane Austen book, Mansfield Park which I've read before. I'm also reading The Lost Roses by Martha Hall Kelly. Prior to that I read Daughters of the Sun and Moon by Lisa See and The Paris Daughter by Kristen Harmel. I've read other Jane Austen books before and enjoy them as well as movies based on her books. I've also read all of Lisa See's book which I love and I'm working my way through the novels written by Kristen Harmel, some of which are better than others.
4. How do you find time to read and where do you make yourself cozy and comfy to read?
I read several days a week unless I'm really sick. When I was struck this year with Shingles, I found I couldn't read anything for several months until I started feeling well again. I cannot read in bed like many people seem to. Some days I read only for a short time. Other days I'll read for a few hours. I like to sit in a corner of the sofa under a wall lamp with my tea and snack and read. My issue isn't finding the time to read. It's stopping to do other things, including sleep once I'm settled and enjoying a book.

It is interesting reading about other people's reading habits. I am a go to bed with a good book person.
It's nice you can read in bed. I did long ago but these days I just fall asleep.
I can't read in bed because of my spine. Without support it just is too painful. I go through periods where I read a lot and then read nothing for months and months. As a kid all I wanted to read were comic books at home and encyclopedias at the library.
Great answers and I'll have to look at a few of the books you listed. We read The Jane Austen Society for book club and it was really good. I have never actually read a Jane Austen book..lol
I'm sorry you have a lot of pain. I too go through periods of a steady reading pace and months where I read no books. I enjoyed comics and encyclopedias as a child too, especially encyclopedias as they quenched my thirst for learning.
I hope you find something of interest in my book list. I read The Jane Austen Society too and enjoyed it. I'd start with Pride and Prejudice when you get around to reading Jane Austen.
Diane B and I are the same. Bedtime is the best time to read, the day is always far too busy. Some books that I read long ago and loved, appear back several years later. Keep well, Diane
