Nope! Not bad at all. I’m a multiple book reader, and usually have a few on the go at any time, so that there’s something that takes my fancy whatever my mood!

Idk. That’s the problem. I mean you would do it too if they were really good books. Lol

I’m able to do it by not reading books of the same genre. That way the stories aren’t confused if I’m reading Harry Potter, a comedic autobiography and Great Expectations at the same time.

I usually read 4-5 at a time. I think its the reason I read so many books every year.

If you know how to focus on each book at the same time, then this is a talent!

I’m reading 4 physical 2 ebooks and listening to an audio book so I’d say no

I started 2 last fall I haven’t finished. One about Krakatoa, and one about the real three Musketeers. I haven’t been in the mood to pick them back up, so I’m reading an ARC I won from Goodreads currently. I’ll go back to the other two eventually. I’ve been tempted to take up a fourth, because this ARC is NOT doing anything for me. But, I’m now less than 100 pages left, so I’ll finish.

No, it’s not weird. I actually used to read that amount of books.

I used to read about 2-3 books at a time, but now I prefer to read one at a time.
I’m in a slump right now because of college and life.. ?

Is it bad that I have not fully read a book for like 6 months now?

Nope, it’s not bad. We are all book lovers, and sometimes we get into a book slump (like I am currently in). One day, we would pick up a book, then we go back into a well-loved, or an exciting, new adventure and enter into a world that we’ve always known or never knew before. <3
