A Pillow Book & More at SPD's 'Beyond Bed & Baths'

At SPD Clickhole, poet Steve Orth has compiled "9 Books That Are Beyond Bed & Baths." What does this mean, you ask? Well:

We here at SPD are totally psyched about our new #SPDhandpicked books. They’re soooooo good! This month’s theme is BEYOND. The great beyond! The big beyond! The wild beyond! Take a look at the handpicked books.

Sadly, the word “beyond” now has a negative word association, because of that big box store Bed, Bath, And Beyond. And I’m sick of that kind of stupid stuff. I want us to start thinking beyond that store and beyond normie beds and boring baths. So here is my listicle: SPD books to help you go Beyond Beds & Baths:

We're into these hand-picked books, indeed. An excerpt from a worthy round-up:

8.) HEAVEN MY BLANKET, EARTH MY PILLOW by Yang Wan-Li , White Pine Press

This book is perfect for the Beyond Bed & Baths listicle, because it’s pretty self explanatory.

OK, let me explain. Heaven is a real beyond concept. Like it’s not of this earth. Some say it doesn’t even exist. But I don’t want to get into that conversation, but I think even those that do believe in heaven would agree that to use the concept of heaven as a blanket is a pretty beyond sort of thing. Why aren’t you ordering this book at this very second. Seriously order this book.

9.) A PILLOW BOOK by Suzanne Buffam, Canarium Books

What’s the perfect item to pair with a bed, even more than a bath? A pillow. And this book is called A Pillow Book, even though I think it is actually THE pillow book, if you know what I mean. This book is fantastic and you should do yourself a favor and order it today. C’mon, you deserve to do something nice for yourself.

Check out all the beyond the bath at SPD.
