I'm not sure about anyone else lolFor me, 4 is the max but they have to be different types of reading:
1 - 2 can be paper books
1 on my kindle
1 on my computer or as an audio
But I can't read more than 2 physical books at once.....typically
I usually just read one at a time because it allows me to focus on just one story line.
For me I can do 2 but also they have to be different story lines :)
the highest number of books I've ever read at once is 6. Normally similar to Trisha, I read paperback, ebook and listen to audiobook.But now I'm trying to read only one book at a time.
I usually do about 5 or 6. I think the highest for me was 8 at a time. I always have at least one audiobook for the car, two or three paperbacks, and at least two ebooks on my iPad. So very similar to Trisha and Gisbelle.
I'm reading three books at the moment.
I usually have 3 to 4 going at once. That way when soemthing bugs me in one, i have other choices, lol!
But I prefer to just read maybe 1 or 2.

Yeah, sometimes I have to read a page before to remember what's going on if I keep jumping books.
Yes, totally understand. It usually takes me a couple of minutes too.
That's true, after awhile of reading one book then jumling to the next it does take me awhile to remember what happened before.
That's why I'm trying (so hard) to stick with one book at a time now.
Haha same here. But there's so many books I just have to read!! Lol!!
I try to stop at 2, one reading and one listening but sometimes it gets closer too 7 or 8. I've been good for the last couple months though lol
It depends. The kindle app has made it very easy for me to jump in and out of books on a whim. Too easily, actually. It's almost as if I have developed book ADHD now. Sometimes, there are books that instantly grab me and I can't put them down. When that happens, I put everything else aside and concentrate only on that one book.
Usually at least 2 or 3. Sometimes 5 or 6. Book, Audio and ebook sometimes multiple on all.

I can usually read 3 at a time, but they have to have different plots. If I read books that have similar story lines going on I tend to get the books mixed up.
I usually read 3 or 4 at a time but they have to be in different genres or else I get them confused.

I think this is a sensible number. Too many tends to mess up your brain :) I'm reading 2 at the moment.
I'm reading three right now, but it's on and off.
Typically I read 1 at a time but can do 2 if one is an ebook and the other paperback.
I usually prefer to read 1 book at a time but it depends. I like to carry around a book in my purse at all times so if I'm reading a book that's too big or too heavy I'll pick another one for that. If I'm also reading an ebook, I'll do 3. Another situation is if I'm reading something that's not holding my interest or is a bit difficult to read too much at a time, I'll switch between that and something else.
I often put several books on my currently reading shelf at a time but that's usually more of a queue than all of the books I'm actually reading.
I can only read one kindle book at a time. But otherwise I can read at least 10 at a time. Right now Im currently reading 8. (:
I like to read only one book at a time.
I read about 6 to 8 books a day. I have a type of photographic memory so I could read a book in a few hours and multitask to! I also could read about 12 books at the same time.

Well, if you do read and finish 6 to 8 books a day, you are officially my idol :)
I am pretty much strictly a one at a time girl, but I will read a few pages of a long-term read in between something else.
definitely 2 or 3 at a time. i can't just read one book unless i'm completely engrossed in the story.
It depends on my mood. I can do multiple books at once, my highest being 4 at a time but if I am really engrossed in a book or its one I've been dying to get my hands on I will read just that one. & sometimes I just read one because not much is grabbing my attention. so I am a either or type of girl. I can do both :)
3 tops! only read printed copies... so yeah! but depends on the genre of the books if I'm reading a classic or something that needs "focus". I only read that one. but if its a YA or chick lit I can do 3. :)
I can't read more than one. I dunno. I feel like I don't wanna get into a book and lose the groove by picking up another

Joanne♥~Bookworm Extraordinaire wrote: "I can't read more than one. I dunno. I feel like I don't wanna get into a book and lose the groove by picking up another"I can understand that totally. But for me its more like I get mad or overwhelmed by what's happening in one book and I need a change. So that's why I usually have more than one going at a time.
I can read about 6 at a time as long as they're all different, plus 1 or 2 audiobooks.
Only one. I know that's corny to all these other people that read like 6 at a time. WOW. When I get into a book I get carried away and all I want to read is that book. So I guess I'm not as skilled. But I'm a newer reader. And 1 is the most I will probably read until I get more comfortable:)
I can read one book and listen to one audiobook at the same time.
I try to read one book at a time but often end up reading two or three at the most, usually a couple on kindle and other on my computer then maybe a library book. It all depends on how interesting I find the book I choose to read first if it gets boring or drags I may need a break which ends up starting another book, then it repeats...
Mostly I read only one book, but at times I do read 2 (one on kindle and other a book)
I think 3 at the most. If I read more than that, I get the stories mixed up.
I'm currently reading 4 but that's a rarity. I find I usually read 2, one on the laptop and one when I'm going to sleep.
My highest was 3 but now I'm sporting 5.. but it's ebook though, so its not really hard.
