[Jacy]

fourth wing;) finally getting on that viral book

[Janine]

Depends how you count. I have books that I’m in the middle of and intend to finish but haven’t read in months. Do these count?

Reading a lot more regularly right now—Travis Baldree’s latest, Bookshops and Bonedust, The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, A Little Too Familiar by Lish McBride, and I just started Servants of the Map by Andrea Barrett. So I guess four?

[☆EmilyEverAfter☆]

3 right now.

[APD]

Currently reading OUABH
Have just put down Rouge - Mona Awad and All the light we cannot see - Doerr

Both were intriguing, but had to put them on hold for fourth wing, then I got into a fantasy spiral so now reading OUABH.

so... 3?

[LilMisGrayBrisk]

Usually two, an ebook and an audiobook

[Miranda]

One ARC (Kismet), two Audiobooks (throne of glass and ACOSF
which is a reread), one physical book (time is a thing the body moves through) though I haven't picked it up in a while. I have another book checked out on Libby but I don't think I'll get to it. I think that's it?

I'm debating re-reading the Twilight series...I read it so much in grade school/high school. I'm scared I won't like it now that Im 30 LOL

[Bret]

[Devv✰]

[Tanja]

I'm reading two books at the time, The Rabbit Hutch and The Name of the Rose

[modeziree.]

im reading skandar and the unicorn thief and like a billion other books but skandar is my main one

[Emily]

Currently I am trying a new series. I have not heard much about it so if anyone has an opinion on it that would be a great help. Im only on page like 50. It is called "Cruel Stars" by John Birmingham

[Lynn]

Just one on Kindle: The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow.

[liv ʚɞ]

Just the 1, I can't read more than 1 book at once or my brain explodes lol. And its Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter :)

[f4iryerims ౨ৎ ⋆｡˚]

the sun is also a star by nicola yoon

[Donna]

These comments are interesting but I can't help wondering if it is really profitable to read more than a couple at a time. I get the idea that maybe one is more compelling and you might cut out to read it while reading another( I am usually quite ready to put whatever I am reading on hold when I get the new Harlan Coben or Lee Child, but those go fast and then I am right back to the first), and nonfiction could coexist with fiction, but more than one novel, or 3-6 as some have said, in an ongoing fashion? Makes no sense and seems like it would be easy to lose plot lines and fine points in the confusion. why not just keep on and finish? seems a lack of perseverance or maybe even self- discipline? Puzzling.

[Lynn :)]

I just prefer reading multiple books at once because I am a mood reader.

Exactly. I like to read what I'm in the mood for when I'm in the mood for it. Sometimes a book isn't working for me but I can tell I might not want to DNF it because it has potential. If I try to push through I'll just feel resentful and dislike the book, so I'm better off to put it on hold and pick up something I think might work for me at that time. So I might have a short attention span one night and crave something with a fast pace and a lot of action instead of the SF tome I'm reading now which has a high learning curve. I put down the second book and start the second, and I'm having fun, and a couple of nights later I'm in the mood for the SF book again, and can deal with all the foreign technology I didn't have the patience for the first night.

Also, there are books I read for fun and books I read to learn, and those are separate categories for me as well.

[Hannah K]

Well, currently in editing with my first novel. Writing my second.

Reading my CPs work.

Currently reading 3 actively.

[Canette]
