@welshpixie I often have an engaging book near the bed, a not so engaging book of which I can read a bit when I want to avoid going to sleep too late because I've been reading, a fiction ebook in progress on the reader for when I'm not home and a scan of a non-fiction victorian book on the phone, also for when I'm not home.
at times I can do even worse than that.
I probably don't have a downstairs book only because I don't really have a downstairs, getting to the one near the bed is pretty convenient no matter where I am in the home
