Most of the time I’ll be reading several books through each other, so my bedside stand always has a huge stack of books on it.I don’t really have room for those though; if it was just two or three books it might have been okay, but most of the time it’s more like 9-10 books. I’ve thought of possible solutions, like a special separate mini book shelf above my bed, but never have gotten around to actually implementing something.
At first glance, this design seemed perfect:
Don’t you love the little glasses hook? I’m wondering though how much this would ‘damage’ the book. I already hate using bookmarks (they cause unnatural creases in your books, I find. Then again I get slightly panicked whenever there’s a fold in anything made of paper I own) and I can’t help but worry what these would do to my books (yeah, I know, I’m weird). Plus I can already imagine me bumping my head against these at 3 in the morning.
Despite my moaning though: super cute design!

I am like that too – I think I have about 10 books in my TBR pile downstairs and I’m in the middle of about 3 or 4 different books.
I even bought another book at lunchtime (The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown) even though CJ bought me 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs on Saturday (and I didn’t start that one! I’ve got 4 chapters to read for book club by Tuesday and I’m still working my way through Making History by Stephen Fry.

Nice idea. I’d have to have at least 4 or 5 as, like you I’ve always got a lot of books on the go. I don’t think it’d damage the books that much, although if you left the book there for month’s it might affect the binding and always open at that page forever after.
I’d buy it for the glasses hook alone, I almost trod on mine the other morning.
