I have to say that we're in the same boat as you are. We have completed all of our requirements and are in the matching phase. We have kept it simple, we have the bunk beds, the dressers and a few children's toilette-tries. Seeing as we are open to adopt 1-3 children between the ages of 5-10. So we don't want to over do it for the bedroom, until the child(ren) arrive. We do have money set aside to go shopping for their needs and wants when they arrive.
I think your doing the right thing be reading books. I have several books that I have read while we have been waiting. I have also been told to take time for yourself and your husband, nurture and strengthen your relationship because when the children arrive you will be focusing on them. We have been exercising and doing things around the house, just to stay busy. We have been trying to give our SW the time she needs to do her thing, we don't want to be pains in the butt, we just want to let her know that we are still here and waiting. We send her an email about every 10 days, just to get an update if there is any. Waiting is so very hard, so try to focus on reading, a hobby or something for yourself.
Best wishes
