Reading in Bed
Reading in Bed | Sue Gee
24 posts | 6 to read
Opening at the Hay Festival, and ending with the prospect of a spring wedding, Sue Gee's novel is a lively story of tangled relationships and the sustaining powers of good books, loyal friends and conversation. Friends since university, with busy working lives behind them, Dido and Georgia have long been looking forward to carefree days of books and conversation, when each finds herself caught up in unexpected domestic drama. Dido, for the first time, has cause to question her marriage; widowed Georgia feels certain her husband will return to her. Meanwhile, an eccentric country cousin goes wildly off the rails, children are unhappy in love, and perfect health is all at once in question.

Here‘s another photo collage I made of physical books I own that I want to read in bed. I looked and none of these books have audiobooks for them so I‘m going to save them to read in bed.

I decided to make a photo collage of physical books I own that I want to read in bed. I‘ve looked and none of these books have audiobooks for them. I‘m hoping these will be perfect to read when I‘m laying in bed before going to sleep. If I lay in bed, I won‘t fall asleep right away but maybe if I lay in bed and start reading, I will fall asleep or I will stay up all night reading. It just depends on what book I‘m reading.

Look, I now have a #TBRcart as well. Well, sort of. This is my bedside TBR-cart, so to say. I still have my regular TBR shelf but these here are some books I can easily read in bed even if I don‘t have much time (because, for example, they may have short chapters etc) and some favourites I like to browse through. Thanks to @Sarah83 for drawing my attention to this beautiful idea. 😘

Sarah83 Looks great 💖💖😍😘 6y

Something I used to do for hours when I was a child and teenager. Nowadays I fall asleep after ten minutes. What the heck? I‘m only in my early 40s. 🤣 How about you? Are you a Librocubicularist? (Yes! I had to recheck three times regarding the spelling. 😉🤣)

TheBookStacker Definitely my bed is the most comfortable place. Once the weather cools down then I can migrate to the back patio. (edited) 6y
Sarah83 Yes I am definitely. You should not lay your head on the pillow, than you can read for hours. 💖 6y
megnews I‘ve been reading in bed all my life too. Sounds like we‘re close in age and I find I fall asleep reading much more quickly now too. 6y
LeahBergen Me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ 6y
Melissa_J I‘m also in my early 40s and can‘t read for more than a few minutes in bed without wanting to fall asleep, at least with paper books. I don‘t have my trouble staying awake when using my e-reader though, I think because I don‘t have to lie a certain way to hold a book. 6y
sprainedbrain Yep. 🙋🏻‍♀️ 6y
RealBooks4ever Count me in! 🙋🏻‍♀️ 6y
rwmg I can read in bed without falling asleep though my back will protest the next day if I do it for too long. If I read lying on the sofa rather than sitting I do tend to nod off. 6y
zzz Real books are harder for me to read in bed...but my Oasis allows me to read for hours because its so easy to hold and the backlight😊 6y
dragondrool Reading in bed before I go to sleep is my me time that never gets sacrificed. Sometimes I last a long time. Sometimes it's a page or two. I also snuggle down with my book in bed for an hour or so when I wake up on weekends. 6y
Ilirwen If it hadn‘t been for my children, I could easily read in bed. Hopefully, I‘ll be able to do it again. I‘m not complaining though. They‘re mostly wonderful. :) 6y

Honestly, my most frequent #readingspot is my bed late at night or early in the morning. There‘s nothing like being cozy in bed with a good book...even if you really should‘ve gone to sleep or gotten up for the day many chapters ago 🤓

Well. I never thought I'd see reading in bed compared with masturbation as a threat to morality and society! 😂😂 Fun and interesting article on 18th century attitudes in The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/reading-in-bed/527388/

Kalalalatja "People feared that solitary reading and sleeping fostered a private, fantasy life that would threaten the collective—especially among women." Well, they might not have been wrong on that point ? 7y

Happy Mother's Day! Doing my usual Sunday morning routine because everyone else still sleeping. Get up, walk dogs, get coffee and newspapers, and head back to bed. No newspapers delivered yet!?! Oh well, guess I'll have to head back to bed with coffee and a book. 😉

Whenever I'm #readinginbed, I feel like I'm fully absorbed in the story and snuggling within the pages of the book. 🤓📚 P.S. This isn't me or my bed....but dang, I really want these sheets!!! 😍(photo found on Etsy by thebedtimestories)

Reading in bed at night is my favorite because there are no distractions. The boys are asleep. The house is quiet. 📖🔦 #readinginbed #photoadaynov16
