As an avid reader living in a city where space is also a premium, I'm a big fan of this multifunctional bookshelf, the "Lili Lite" created by Dutch designer Thijs Smeets.
Lili Lite is a reading light, a bookmark and a bookshelf combined into one smart product. A sensor turns off the light when an open book is placed on the shelf. When the book is picked up again, the light automatically turns on. Lili Lite also has a switch to turn the light on and off manually.
$125 here.

PB: NO, SHE DID NOT TELL ME TO EAT BACON!
Me: THEN SHE IS THE WORST NUTRIONIST EVER.
