Do you love reading in bed as much as I do?
I am a self-confessed bibliophile. I collect books and simply cannot go through a day without reading. And I definitely can't sleep at night until I have read at least a few pages of whatever book I have on hand - much to hubby's dismay, who reckons he cannot possibly fall asleep while there's a glimmer of light somewhere in the room.
And unfortunately I cannot stop at reading one book at a time - I usually have several must-reads that I devour at the same time. Consequently, my bedroom resembles a busy library more than a restful retreat or a romantic boudoir.
This is kinda what I aspire to: books neatly stacked in a colourful tray or floating shelf, reading light poised, with enough space left for fresh flowers or pretty displays...

In reality, this looks much more familiar:
Wow .. some really organised readers here! A bookshelf conveniently placed next to the bed, seems like a dream come true. But books arranged by colour? I bet Dewy never considered that!

Piles of books supporting lamp and fan ... very practical!

Very creative solutions for the ever-increasing stacks of literature, but what if you just HAVE to read one of them?

And what about reading your duvet cover? Yip. A very original designer, Tiago de Fenseca, came up with the idea of printing stories on a duvet cover with "pages" that flip just like a book.
Jury's still out on this one, I think!
But how do YOU deal with your bedtime reading matter?
