I've got my eReader which seems to live under my pillow more than next to the bed, plus the following books:

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Change Your Shoes, Change Your Life
The No Excuses Guide to Uncovering Your Purpose
Spanish for Dummies
Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales
A Dance with Dragons (Songs of Fire & Ice #5) - this one is looking a little bit worse for wear because I fell asleep in the bath reading it
A Discovery of Witches

[Miss.September]

My kobo
Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy
Blaze by Di Morrissey
Dune Is A Four Letter Word by Griselda Sprigg

Does it reflect my frame of mind? Don't know! I haven't read anything for ages and everything other than what's on the kobo was given to me.
