I was always a one book woman but I’ve got so much books to read and the list keeps getting bigger! I now read one paperback and one electronic book at the same time so I get through them all!

But are you really getting through them faster that way?

And from different genres. I’m reading I See You by Clare Mackintosh and listening to The Beach Club by Elin Hilderbranad

I read one book at a time. I will listen to an audio book while reading a different book, but that’s it.

@Jenny, you are the ultimate multi-tasker! All those books, three kids, a job, and everything else you do.

I have 3 going now but I used to just read one at a time.

I used to be able to juggle two or more at a time, but now at most I can handle one fiction and one nonfiction. I’m experimenting with an audio book right now. I have hearing issues, so audios have not played a huge part in my reading, except for books my kids listened to. Some of those were wonderful though..

I like the one fiction and one nonfiction combination, @Vicki. I can do that, too.

As long as the nonfiction isn’t too deep..it really all depends, doesn’t it? LOL

I’m always amazed that people can read several books at once. I get so involved with a book that it would be hard for me to switch stories, but kudos to those of you who can handle multiple involvements. I do sometimes have an audio book going while reading another book, but that’s due to a long car trip in which I want to listen to a book.

Several at once. Sometimes I tend to bite off more than I can chew, especially when reading big fantasy tomes!
