Yes, often! 🙂
Depending on the book..yes
Yes
Yes most of the time
Quite frequently!
Yes most of the time.
Sometimes…it just depends on how wrapped up I was in the book.
Rarely; a cuppa and the loo and I’m ready to start the next one.
Usually longer than a day or I just can’t get into a new one
Oh yes. #magazineday
Yep. Sometimes several days.
Only if the book is very good
Finish a book dive in my surprise jar pick a title,read it,start the book:)
@Becky love this idea!!
@Stephanie its brilliant, i use post it notes write the title in the middle,fold it up with loads more,mix it up. Each time you finish a book dip in and select another,its like xmas every time you never know what you’ll be reading next:)
I’m the opposite. . . . I’m like, “Where’s the next one?! Where’s the next one?! I need it now!” ??
I was reading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and just finished Feversong. I need a day before I can start High Voltage.
@Jessi I’ve never heard of it! Any good?!
@Amy yes!!!!
@Jessi GREAT. Another list to go on my TBR pile! ??
Oh yes!!!!!!!
Depends on the book
I usually need a few days
Yes
I always have my next one lined up. But if I’m reading something intense I’ll choose an easier read for the next one. Like a palate cleanser. Lol!
Yes..I felt that way after “I am Pilgrim “
Some times I need to .
I sometimes feel as though I should, but I just can’t not read!
Yes; sometimes longer!
It helps to write my thoughts in my book journal. Some books leave marks.
Nope! I’m usually reading two at once anyway so I just carry on with the unfinished one!
Your just too cool Shirl xx ( we’re very close friends)
Actually I usually have to take a day to recover before can focus on the next . The story of the last book lives in my head for a while .
Yes
I sure do…,
Unless it’s part of a series then finish one straight onto the next lol
I have to read a couple books in between each book in a series. I don’t like to jump from one in a series right into the next in the series
If its a series i go straight in but if its a stand alone book i take a few days off, do my washing, have a tidy up, see whats going on in the world then start a new one.
Same. I rarely take a break with series. Stand alones I often do because I need to push those characters to the back of my mind so I’m not confusing them with the new ones hahaha
YES!
yes….i stare at my bookshelf like a drunk woman
Oh yes!! maybe 3 days
Sometimes yes, especially if it was an intense book
I spent the last chapter crying it definitely took its emotional toll!
@Jessi what book did you just read?
@May feversong (Karen Marie Moning Fever series)
Jessi Walker I just googled goodreads on it, it does sound intense! :))
@May it’s really good. I highly recommend the series. I devoured them all but this one just got me right in the heart. Apparently I only needed 12 hrs to get over it, I just opened high voltage.
I am reading about 3 different series. Probably getting ready to start a 4th. I tend to leap from one series to another. Ill read a book in one series and when I’m done I’ll move to another book in another series until I get through all the books.
If the intensity of a book is strong enough, I will put the next book aside for a few days. But usually, my curiosity gets the better of me and I go right to the next book in the series.
If I read a series or something by the same author I have read one in between. Unless of course it’s the Cavendon series by Barbara Taylor Bradford
Sometimes a few days
Every time.
If it was a meaningful book, yes, because I like to reflect on it.
ditto!
Sometimes… I just finished Half Past a couple hours ago but I will be starting Kitchen House tonight.
I love to jump in if it’s really good. No waiting
YES!!! I do…
Sometimes, especially if it is emotionally draining one or one I want to think about and savour a bit longer .
I do unless it’s a book of short stories theyi can read a couple in a row
Yes
Sometimes I’m definitely like that. I’m so invested in the story and the characters, that I want to savor them for a time before I move on.
Me!
Nope. Have to jump to next one so I can read all the good books on earth before I die
@Linda lol exactly what I think. I look at my tbr list and think holly molly I can’t die yet. I wanna get through it ???
