The Bedside Table Ritual: Always Have a Book Within Reach
I have a rule, and it’s one of my favorite rituals: I always have a book on my bedside table. As soon as I finish one, I immediately find my next. It’s a non-negotiable in my life, like brushing my teeth or my morning cup of coffee. Why? Because having a book within arm’s reach is like having a trusted friend there whenever you need them.
Sometimes I reach for it to quiet my mind after a busy day. Other times, I need it to take a little time for myself—especially in those moments when the house is quiet and I can sneak away for some uninterrupted “me” time. It’s not just about reading; it’s about grounding yourself, finding inspiration, or even escaping into another world for a little while.
If you’re not already in the habit of keeping a book on your bedside table, I highly encourage you to start. And to make it easy, I’ve put together a list of must-reads to get you started. These books have all left a mark on me, and I know they’ll do the same for you.
