I personally can’t do it. I wish could but i start blending them together and ruining all the stories.

Faith

I can’t if I start one book, I have to finish it before I read another either wise it bugs me.

Amanda

If I do, I usually do one ebook and one physical. And they must be different genres. Otherwise it doesn’t work for me.

Virginia

I’ve got a few different books going at all times. I get bored with one, and bounce to a different one until I’m in the mood for it again. But they have to be completely different kinds of books. Like, one high fantasy, one urban fantasy, a classic, etc.

Virginia

Just checked. I’m currently reading 11 different books.

Siri

I never do it. If I start another book it cause I’m quitting the first one!?

Kasey

I’m not usually a fan, but I have one I’m reading, plus one my husband and I are reading together.

Ash

I used to think that I would never be able to do it. I thought my mind wouldn’t be able to focus on so many stories at once, but I went ahead and tried it. I started off only reading two at once and now I’m reading 6 books at once with no problems.

Melissa

I can only focus on one at a time. I might start 2 at the same time but I end up with finishing one.

Melissa

i do it but i have my kimdle at night and audiable during the day

Charon

Now that is something I am very good at as I’m a fast reader.

Ash

Same. I’ve always been a fast reader, so once I started reading multiple books at once, it definitely helped make a dent in my tbr list.

Laura

I can’t do it, I get so caught up in whatever world the author has created in the book I’m reading that I can’t get on with another book at the same time.

Britt

Personally, I can’t handle it. However, I can manage an audio book and a ‘normal’ book. I have been doing this since last summer and it is working for me 🙂

Sylvia

One always overtakes after a while. But some books are easier to read at certain times than others. I often have a few on the go, and so long as the book is not too intense I can pick it up again no prob even if I have not looked at it for months…

Meagan

I can’t do it. It confuses me haha.

Bob

I’ve done it, but I like the flow of reading one book at a time . . .

Tiffany

I think that if you feel disinterested in a book, you should pick up another just to keep you from becoming disinterested in reading.

Khira

I do it occasionally.

Aryka

I do it a lot lately, I can read up to three at once, it’s convenient it I’m reading a paperback and leave it at home I’ll just start an Ebook or audiobook while I’m out. Or sometimes if I need to review a book or meet a deadline I’ll start on the book, along with my current read

Richard

i do it all the time…usually have several different genres on the go at the same time so that i can pick whic:ever one matches my mood/mindset at the time

Yonatan

I do it all tje time sometimes i start reading anothed because i not in the mood for the genre. Or becuase i left the book at home or in my car so i start to read one on my phone

Yannie

I do it all the time and can keep track

Patricia

I also do it all the time.

Dallas

I can’t do it. But I do pick out what I am reading next while I read one book.

Laura

Me too xx

Dallas

Even when I have a huge stack of unread books at home, I will be looking for even more books to read.

Jes

I do it but with very different style books. I typically have one personal development book and one leisure book going at once. If they are too similar in style, I sometimes get myself all mixed up, hahaha.

Burgess

I can’t do it

Marie

I do it all the time. Currently have 3 books

Catharina

I do it constantly, I’m on three books atm

Richard
