I start my next as soon as I finish what I'm ready. like within minutes if im not busy haha
typically right after ive finished the book before
Usually right after I finish one, sometimes next day if I'm done with book late night 😁
The same day. I think about my next read while I'm reading. It also depends on the book I'm reading. Sometimes it's hard to let the story go I guess
As soon as I finish reviewing what I just read. I pick a new one, usually different type, and get going.
If I can, immediately after finishing the last one 😁
Immediately, after I finish one. Often, I am reading one and listening to Audio and start another all at the same time. Have so many books to Read.
Immediately. I always have a book to read.
After a couple of hours or less if the book was not good enough.
Immediately or I have 5 books on the go so there's no in between
As soon as one is finished, a new one begins.
I usually wait for two to three days after finishing before starting a new one
Usually right after I finish one or I get into a reading slump
I do series, so I am always on to the next
Right away. Unless it's some super late crazy hour. But in the past, while suffering with insomnia, I have started books at 1 am. And some series are very relaxing so they help me sleep.
either the next day or it could take me a month too if the book's too good and leaves me in a slump
right away. usually read the author's notes, acknowledgements,look at maps and photos then dive in the first chapter
Depends on if Im reading a series or not. If a series I read the next book right away. If not a series it might be a day or so for my next read.
as soon as I finish or before, I like to read multiple books at the same time 😅 I'm a mood reader 😌
I start my next book right away, if I'm not already reading multiple books.
usually right after I finish one however it's sometimes 2-3 days if I need a break!
The next day cause I always finish books at night 🤭
Almost immediately if it's before 6 PM. After, the next day
Casi siempre cuando termino un libro comienzo el otro, pero cuando el libro es súper meta bueno me cuesta soltarlo y comenzar uno nuevo
Within hours to a day or two, depending on how busy, tired, distracted by other things/interests, or affected by the last book I read, or how excited I am about the next read, especially if I have multiple to choose from at the time
If I know which book I’ll definitely read next (highly anticipated, sequel, etc.) then immediately. If not, I browse my library for a bit, and then typically within a few hours.

But some book inspire to visit and revisit their pages and i also mix the earlier one with current read for better perspective.
Straight away if I'm hella bored unless the book was a 5 star read and I got attatched to the charavters then it'll take me a few days to start a new one
straight away, there are soo many books and soo little time 🙃
Most of the time right away.Very rarely have I had to wait between books. Only time I wait is when I try to get into another one and I am still too enthralled in my mind with the last one, because that does not leave room for the new book. When that happens it might be 3 to 5 days until I read the next one. But it rarely happens.
As soon as I finish a book - I immediately start another. I read every day after lunch and just before bed. Nothing like a great read. Too many books and just not enough time!
sometimes straight away, usually a couple of hours or if I finish a book at night I'll wait until the next day
I usually read more than one book at a time.
I like to wait a week at least, to give me a minute to continue to think and absorb the last book I read before moving forward.
Honestly, it varies! Sometimes I need a bit of a palette cleanser after a particularly intense or long book. I might take a day or two to just let the story settle, maybe scroll through Goodreads for a bit, or even just re-organize my physical TBR pile. It's like letting the previous world fade a little before diving into a new one.But then there are those times when I finish a book and I'm just itching to start something new immediately. If I already have my next read lined up and I'm really excited about it, I might jump straight in that same evening. It really depends on my mood, the book I just finished, and how compelling my next pick looks!
The same day but not immediately after, I think that's why I find it helpful to write some notes or a short review while I'm still wallowing in the finished book and have a sense of the after taste - sometimes disappointment and loss at finishing something gorgeous, sometimes frustration at a terrible ending or an awful story! I get a vibe then for what I need from the next book - am I in the mood for something classic or do I need something lighter. If it was hard work I usually try a page-turner next to mix it up and get my reading flow back up.
Depends on how much emotional damage the previous book made and how much time I need to recover from it :))

Usually the same day, depending on how messed up the last book made me 😅
If the book wrecked me it'll take a day or two to pick up another one. But if it wasn't that impactful then yeah within the same hour, I'm reading a new book.
Depending on the book. I might be in such shock after finishing a book it will take me days before I can start another one. One in point is The Huntsmen by Tony J Forder. So brilliant, I couldn't start another book immediately.
Depends on if I'm still recovering from the last book I've read, usually within a day or two.
