Not really essentials since all you need to read is a book but these are all the things that make me enjoy reading ever more.

I wanted an ereader with buttons and color to make cute annotations and highlights! Plus I love that I can get library books right from the device and kobo plus ($7.99 a month) has a pretty good selection of books!

This has been my favorite style reading light, I’ve had it since 2023 and it’s still going strong. Love that it has 3 different color modes and 5 brightness levels

Made for laptops but I love to use it for reading in bed since it’s very comfy to read with the book propped up.

Great selection of colors for tabbing your books. Although I barely use them because I still don’t have a tabbing method I love.

To create the perfect ambiance. If I’m reading alone in a room wood wick candles are my go-to for the perfect reading environment.
