I usually have 3 or more going at one time. One nonfiction and one nonfiction. And I always have a “mindless fluff” book going. This is typically a fiction that is easy to read (maybe YA). It may be a book I have read before. I read this when I am tired, stressed, or anxious. It is my comfort reading. I can pick it up and get caught up in an easy read. It takes me away and allows me to veg out.

Exactly. And I always read books that are different genres from each other and different subjects so I always have something I’m in the mood for. So like right now, I’m reading a comedy, a Stephen king, a Harry Potter, moby dick and a thriller.

I tend to read three or four, depending on what they are, if I am reading a lot of relatively short books it can go up to six, when I was younger it was common for me to read about that much and people don’t see how I can keep all the plotlines in my head so well….but I can’t do math in my head soo whatever lol

I am disabled and can no longer get into the willage library (was once on the board – as treasurer). It is handicapped accessible – but for me would mean a distance with my walker that would just be too much. I do some i go back and forth reading – but those are usually gardening or cook books – but don;t do much of either physically any more either. Getting old is for the pits! but it does give me more time to read! ABE is great.

I am disabled too, its hard for me to get out, but every so often I go to the library. I always get asked how can you read if you are nearly blind. I have been this way since birth and have read since I was really young.

I frequently read several books at one time. May be reading books for my adult classes or reading a mystery for pleasure or reading books on archaeology, etc. because I am passionate about archaeology.
