Well, do you watch more than one program on TV, and know what is going on in each of them? Haha, it is the same, really.

I usually have at least one book on my Overdrive or Kindle app that I am reading so I can read on my down times outside the house and an actual book at home that I read at night before bed.

I regularly have 4 or more books on the go – I’ll pick up & read the one that best suits my mood at the time.

Too many, so it often take me forever to finish one. I hate it. (I blame ADHD?)

Are usually just one but sometimes if I’m reading a series I will stop in between books and read another book or two or series.
Actually I’m doing that right now I put a series on hold that I’ve read several times in rereading another series it’s much much shorter.

I get in a mood for a certain book, then another one catches my attention, so I am the same way. I probably have about 7 or 8 books I am in process of reading. It does take a while to finish a book this way. Reminds me of channel surfing in a way. Fortunately I usually remember what the book is about if I put it down for a while. Go BOOKS!!
