Anyway, to answer the OP's question seriously (more-or-less), the novelty does wear off eventually. One's reading habit, on the other hand…

I think the problem here is that you started a second book which you then felt compelled to finish. Maybe you could implement a personal rule* that once you've finished a book after bedtime, no starting a new one until the next day.
* I freely admit I don't keep to this rule myself, especially not with paper books.
"Oh, this is due at the library soon; I should finally get around to reading it. Just a few quick pages to start with won't hurt…"
An hour or two later, I'm halfway through. On the upside, it does get returned on time.
