Where can I hide a book?

[Anonymous]

Nowhere in my house feels safe!

My therapist recently suggested I acquire a specific workbook, and I just received it and it’s HUGE and thick. I almost wish I hadn’t ordered it. (No, it’s not available on audiobook and I couldn’t find an ebook, it’s a really lesser known, specific book. Trust me, I tried.)

My kids aren’t particularly nosy, but my DD has been known to go looking for things like socks, necklaces, etc, in my room. I don’t want to suddenly it enticing to go looking by laying down a sudden hard rule like “no going in my drawers”.

I considered places like luggage, but she’s on to that being a gift hiding spot and with Christmas upon us…

I even considered hiding it in one of our holiday bins but then just the other day she went looking for a Halloween decoration.

I’m even more paranoid because as a kid, I used to snoop around common areas of our house when I was bored.

I’ve been moving it around, but I really want to just keep it in one place. I will be hanging on to it for a couple months, then my therapist will take it and we will go over it. I really don’t feel comfortable with my kids seeing it. Where the heck can I hide it where I can still easily access it? It’s about the size of a medium cereal box. Help!

Behind the tampons or tp what ever your family doesn't replenish.

In a bin, under stuff in the trunk of your car.
In a tote bag with a zipper on the floor in your closet.

Between the mattress and the boxspring. Near your head, not the foot.

Trunk or attic.

With the cleaning supplies

Get a book cover and write "TAXES" on it.

In the luggage

In the freezer.
I keep a stash of empty boxes in our basement for when I need to mail a package - great hiding spot.

Under/behind the sink.

Behind the furnace/HVAC system.

Behind the washer/dryer.

On the bookshelf. Seriously. Teens are nosy and snoop. I know my kids have been caught snooping and I used to do it as a teen as well. I never once went through the books on our bookshelf, though. I did snoop through every bag I found once when left home alone, so I'd pass on that.

Another place would be folded inside of a towel that is one no one ever uses.

There's also a thin wall safe you can purchase on Amazon for under $50 that looks like a piece of artwork.

I have always hidden stuff in my dining room sideboard and nobody ever thinks to look there. If you have any cabinet where you keep rarely used dishes or gear, you should consider it.

hide it in bookshelf. We have like 5 tall bookcases in basement and nobody ever looks there. Sometimes it’s when we hide stuff that we either lose it.

Hide it underneath something racy and distracting? Your vibrator?

On the front seat of the car.
