Mallory - I confess to being a crazy obsessive reader, ha!
So, I usually have about 10 books going at once, and they are usually a mix of science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, YA, non-fiction and classics. This is important, because if I was reading 10 very similar books in a similar genre, I would get way confused.
Also, I think it's safe to say that about 2 or 3 of the books that I am reading at any given time are re-reads. I have favorites that I re-read every one to two years, and I also often re-read a series when a new book comes out. (This is the downside of reading so many books, my recall suffers a bit). Also, when I am sick or stressed, there is nothing I love more than to slip into a familiar world and hang out with "friends"
I also usually have several audiobooks going at a time. I work alone in an office all day, and depending on my work load, I can listen to usually listen to 3-6 hours of an audiobook (I also have this crazy thing where audiobooks are too slow for me, so I listen at them at 1.4x-2x speed - which apparently is really annoying to other people, LOL)
I have a family, but my 5 year old goes to bed at 7, and I was lucky enough to marry a man who also considers snuggling while reading a valid way to spend time together (we also do buddy reads)
And I guess, I watch very little TV, and Goodreads is pretty much my only social media.
I think I more than answered your question, so I will shut up now, LOL
Hope you are feeling better!
Thanks Seraphina and Dichotomy Girl! I took a two hour nap, so I haven't done any reading but I feel slightly better haha!That's amazing though! I've been meaning to start rereading Harry Potter this year along with new books, but I can see how that's easier to do when you're reading multiple books at once. Also having to read from different genres. I think that's what got me confused the first time I tried reading multiple books at once because they were quite similar. Now I'm reading a YA fantasy and adult fiction so they're really different and I can keep the stories straight.
Happy reading! :)
I finished two books yesterday, but didn't accomplish all my goals so here goes:

I'm going to have to drastically reduce my reading goals for the next 10 days or so. My daughter is on Spring Break, My Mom is visiting from out of state for the week, and I'm hosting Easter Dinner. So my reading time has to be devoted to laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking. :( 143 Pages Audiobooks:
107 Pages (77)
I only read about half of what I wanted to read yesterday because I got distracted by Youtube... haha! Today's goals:
- 40 pages - 25 pages

My goal for Today, Sat. & Sun. is to open a book at least once per day, even if it's only to read 5 pages. I'll try to check in though ,and see how you guys are doing.

I managed to get a pages read on Friday, but I didn't get a chance to open a book yesterday (but I did get 11 hours worth of housework / guest prep / errands done...so yay, but I'm exhausted!).Happy Easter to those who Celebrate it. Happy Sunday to those that don't!
Happy Easter/Happy Sunday and happy reading everyone! I'm sad that today is my last day of spring break. I'm not ready to go back to work (and have less time to read)... but I guess it's inevitable. I actually got, what I believe to be, a good amount of reading done the past few days, so I'm happy about that. My goals today:

I actually really enjoyed this book. I didn't think I was going to since I'm not really into YA contemporary books, but at the time I read it, I connected with one of the situations the female character was going through (I forgot her name), which ultimately made me invested in the book. I hope it gets better for you though!
