Bedside book light for book worms

This frosted glass lamp may look like a cute little house shaped light but it also doubles as a stand for when it’s time for boboze. Simply pop your book on the roof and your page will be saved. I did immediately think ‘but what if it gets hot and burns while you’re in bed?!’ but fret not as the lamps low energy 11W bulb won’t get too warm even if you leave it on all night, which would be a bit ridiculous.  If you like reading in bed then this is a smart addition to any bedside table.
