I have only ever read one book and finished it before moving on to another. I feel like I would get very confused if I read more than one at once but its also something that seems much more enjoyable than one at a time. How do you guys feel?

I like to read multiple books simultaneously. Sometimes I switch between them, reading one book until I become disinterested, then moving on to another book (I can only do this with two to three books at a time). When I become interested in the previously abandoned book again, I return to it (takes about 30 minutes).
Yes, I sometimes read multiple books. Usually, I read different genres when I do this.
At least 3 books parallel. One in my bedroom, one that I read during the day in the livingroom and one in my car for doc appts..
Yes. I've normally got three on the go.
I read 3-4 at a time, but if the books are too similar, I have trouble keeping up. So, I try to mix up mediums and genres. I usually have an audiobook, and then physical copies or Kindle versions of 1 fiction and 1-2 non-fiction books.
Ive found that with digital and audio books that i can read around 10 books at the same time. I read until I'm kind of bored of one plot and then switch to a different book. This actually helps me finish books because it doesn't feel like a chore to finish one if it's kind of lacking.
only if one is so long that i feel i may get tired of it if i don’t read a different genre with it
yes 2 at a time one physical and one audio book
These days, yes but I try to go one fiction then one non-fictionI'm doing research for a project and learning for my job so I am on multiple items.
By device type
Generally, I do a physical book, review arcs via my Kindle and audiobookks via Audible
I definitely do, it drives my mom NUUUUTTTSSS!
Not if I can help it. I tend to stay with one fiction book and keep one Smithsonian magazine in my bag. Anything more than two and the plots bleed together.
Definitely! I'll usually do one audiobook and one either physical or kindle. The only way I'm able to do it is that they have to be two different genres.
I listen to an audio book by day and read a kindle book in the evening or when waiting anywhere and I can read a page or three. No problem switching between books.
Sometimes I do it if I think that the previous book is becoming little boring for me.
Usually 2 or 3 1 is my physical TBR
2 is on my Kindle
3 sometimes if I want to read something but book itself is divided into segments - I treat that as a commercial break in between my physical TBR
Yes! One audiobook and 1 or 2 physical books from different genres. Something for every situation and every mood :)
right now, I have about 3 books that I am reading right now
Usually two at a time! One physical book and one on kindle.
Most I can do at a time is 3 but I usually have two books I switch back and forth from
I never have, until this month. I was worried I was going to forget everything that is happening, but thankfully, that hasn't been the case yet. I am looking forward to going back to only reading one- maybe 2- books at a time though. I feel like I don't know which one to pick up and then I just don't end up reading any of them haha
I'm usually reading three at a time - I never know what I'll be in the mood for
Personally, I've never read 2 at the same time, I like to focus on the current story, but I think is because I get so hooked on that I have to finished it before I can move to the next haha{Edit} But I do read multiple short mangas/manhwas while I'm reading a book
3 or 4 is the max for me, rn I am reading
I’ve started doing this lately & I usually flit between a physical book, kindle & an audio. I make sure it’s different genres though otherwise I may get a tad confused!
I always have a physical book and an audiobook going at the same time, trying to make sure they're different genres. In that case, if I get a little bored of one, I can switch to the other for a bit
yes, I have multiple books on the go i dont know how i do it but i can keep track of them
yes! a couple on Audible and a few physical book. 1 I read more then the rest.
yeah I'm literally reading like 5 books actively and listening to an audio book
yes usually 2 at a time - one physical and one kindle
Yes. One audiobook (because I listen while I'm driving/getting ready for work/going for a walk), and one or two physical or ebooks. I'll do two physical or ebooks just because some times there are books that will put me into a slump if I try to plow through it, so I'll read something else in between to keep it from happening.
Long story short, I read/listen to 2-3 books at a time.
Usually 2-3 books at a time. One audiobook.
Yes. Usually it's just 2-3. I normally have a light book, maybe a comic, and a thick book that I'm working through. The light book is when I need a mental break from the thick book. Currently, my thick book is Cold Mountain, which is a beautiful read so far but so verbose that I need to check out of it every once in a while with something else.
I can't, unfortunately. Only one book at a time.
yes, 3 at a time. An audiobook, physical book and a Kindle.
I do, I've got so many i'm reading all the time
Always 3 at a time! I have an audiobook, a book from my tbr, and a reread!
Not much, but sometimes. I stared 3 today
I’m usually reading 2 books at time, because I like to read on my kindle as well
only if I'm in a reading slump, I was in one recently and was reading 4 books lol
yesss!! my mood changes quite often and depending on the day and how it went, I usually pick a suitable book.....There are usually 2-3 books going on but when I'm halfway through atleast one of them, I don't pick up others until I finish it!!!
