How many books do you read at the same time? Right now I am reading 3 e books and a paper book!
I have five on my “currently reading” list, but I’m only really working through two of them. I’m kind of taking a break on the others. They’re just not motivating me much right now.
What, no audiobook? I usually have two or three books going at once as well as at least one audiobook. I use audiobooks when my hands/eyes are busy with knitting, crocheting, driving, etc.
Lol! There are only so many hours in the day!
Exactly!
I’m a uni-booker – none of this multi-booking for me! My books get my undivided attention for the duration of their story! ?
No more than 3
I only read one at a time, but I have them lined up ready to go!
There isn’t a set number. I have a bunch of long-unfinished books I always meant to finish. I don’t know at what point to stop considering them as being in progress.
For me, if it’s been a month, I take off it my currently reading list in Goodreads and put it on my to-read list. Most of the time, I’ll take it off that list when I purge my to-read list.
Usually 2 or 3. Amit Chaudhuri has a delectable, throwaway line in his nonfiction book, Calcutta, about how he likes to read books “contrapuntally”.
I read 3-4 a day if I’m lucky just sit at barnes 🙂
Usually just 1 at a time although I always have several downloaded.
I always read 3 at once. One book, one on kindle and one on audible☺
About 3 usually……
From 3 up
3 appears to be the number! All done while knitting, sewing, watching baseball (sports) or Netflix….right?
I read one book at a time. That being said, I also have an audio book on while doing things around the house, yard, and in the car.
It depends. Always at LEAST 2/3. Usually upwards of 5. I’ve been slacking lately ?
One! I don’t understand how people can read more than one at a time. When I start a book I am totally engrossed in it. I know I am wierd but that’s how I am wired. My son is always reading 4 or 5 books. Drives me crazy, crazy I tell you! LOL!
I’m in at least a little ways on six right now, but serious about only two. I’m not proud of this, but when I’ve got a stack of books from the library I’m always tempted to ‘just read the first chapter’ and then I’m usually hooked.
Seventeen and a half. No seriously, just one.
One ebook and one audiobook.
Usually three. A “serious” book, a “fluffy” book before bed, and an audio book in the car.
Usually at least 2! It helps me make progress when i get tired of reading one book, i can jump over to the other.
One.
Usually only one, but lately I’ve been doing one novel and one non-fiction.
I’m trying to start doing this because I love non- fiction and don’t read nearly enough but I find it hard to focus on reading just non- fiction all the time.
Usually at least 2.
3 e books and an audio book
Right now 3
3 books and 2 audiobooks. I think this is just a hazard of my profession because I work at a library ?
One paperback and one audiobook
Usually 2, but have several I dip into just for fun (Dickens, Austen, Tolstoy, D.H. Lawrence).
One…… I can’t cheat on my characters by starting a second on the side. Lol
4 – one in the car (for waiting for kids), one by the bed (which is also the one I read at home during the da if there is an opportunity, one (usually nonfiction) in the bathroom (don’t judge me!) and an audio book on my phone for when I can’t have eyes down but need a book.
Probably 3 or 4
One paperback, one ebook, one audio book! I try to pick totally different when a do more than one at a time so I don’t confuse myself!
Depends on what I’m reading. Right now six: mystery, poetry, essay collection, graphic novel, non fiction, and a paranormal.
3-4, physical and ereader, plus a few magazines.
I’m doing the same thing right now, and don’t like it!!! I was just telling myself this morning I need to get back to reading one at a time.
One at a time!
3 books in process
2 audiobooks, 2 regular books, 1 Book of short stories/essays, one comic trade atm
Usually only one, though sometimes one “heavy” book and a lighter weight. I read fairly fast and get really immersed in whatever I’m reading so there isn’t time to add another.
2 – 3 plus a weekly magazine
Currently I have 5 books in progress. 3 of them I read irregularly while 2 are read frequently.
One paper for daytime reading, one e-book for bedtime reading (so I won’t disturb my husband), and one audiobook to listen to in the car. This is new for me, just started this a few weeks ago. Previously I’ve only read one at a time.
One book at a time, unless for studying.
Down to five, at the moment. It’s been higher.
Just one.
three or four …. one on my kindle … one book … an audio book … and a non fiction (or two) …
