Craig Conover enjoys spending time outside with a captivating nonfiction book in hand.

“I’m particularly drawn to nonfiction,” the “Southern Charm” celebrity shares with Page Six about his reading preferences.

The writer of “Pillow Talk” expresses his fondness for reading on his backyard porch, where he can “hear the birds and feel the breeze mingling with the scent of my flowers. Sometimes, I even get a visit from a bee or two.”

“Another one of my favorite reading spots is the bench in my front yard, right by the Venetian fountain I put in last autumn,” he adds.

Currently, Conover is collaborating with TikTok Shop on their #BookRecs initiative, which highlights the transformative influence of books in inspiring, educating, and connecting communities, along with major promotional discounts on their platform.
