I love reading before bed as long as it's not a scary book

Reading in bed or on my bed seems the only time that I can read properly.
Whether my bed has magical qualities or its just my on growing relationship with my bed, I don't know.
All I know is that: I love my bed and I love my books.
Perfect combination! :lol: :D

I love reading in bed but I get so uncomtorable sometimes trying to manage the book or kindle and lay at the same time. I may need better light. Does anyone use one of those neck pillow thingys when reading in bed? does it help?!

I constantly pull all-nighters on books. This is when most of my reading gets done.

I LOVE reading a bit of before I get out of bed in the morning. Though I usually leave this for the weekends when I am not on a tight morning schedule. I also almost always read in bed to help me fall asleep.

If I tried to read in bed, I would never get up and next thing I know it would be noon and my boss would be on the phone yelling at me for not showing up.

I like reading in bed but the best feeling is at Barnes and Noble in the cafe. My arms get tired of holding the book so when I'm in bed, I read on the Kindle.

I read in bed every night. Its my time to relax and enjoy myself and have that time to myself. Sometimes the plan backfires on me though because I'll get so into a book that I can't go to sleep until it's finished and next thing I know its two am and I'm wide awake and desperate for the next book in the series. Or too amped up after the first book to wind down enough to let myself fall asleep.

I read in bed all the time & I look forward to the day someone invents the perfect pillow for comfortable reading

Since I got my Paperwhite Kindle I always read it bed. I like reading with the lights off and just snuggling in bed and being comfortable this way if I get sleepy I will be able just to hit a button and I'm done.

I've found that stacking pillows help, but only when you can set them up against a wall... unfortunately, my bed sits several inches from the nearest one.

I love to read in bed, however, I get a terrible crick in the neck. Of course, I still do it, no way would I stop.
