Why I Love... Book Lights

As of late, The Fiance and I have been watching episodes of The Office before bed. Usually, I'm still awake when he's ready to hit the hay. I would complain about that, but that usually means I find myself with about 20 minutes of reading time before I'm sleepy.

Not wanting to disturb Sleeping Beardy, I make use of our book light (or the Kindle's glow). I get to huddle under the warm covers (flannel in the winter!), with a soft spotlight illuminating the page. The surrounding darkness makes if feel like I'm in a bubble. Reading like this seems quieter somehow. It's easy to focus on the story when everything else is black.

Sure, my eyelids might start dropping quickly, but the booklight means I've got a few minutes of uninterrupted reading. Ah, bliss.
