same day, but i dont get too into it just the first chapter usually
As soon i as finish. Also depends on time of day.
It depends. If the book had a lot of plot twists or big meanings about a day or two. If it's a series I have access to- however many minutes it takes for me to find the next book. But for going from standalone to standalone probably a few hours to a day,
Either within a couple of hours or the next day. Depends on when I finish it and whether I want to write a review.
It depends on the previous book I have read. If it's a series, I start straightaway..
I start my next book within about a day, but I'm always reading two simultaneously.
Usually right-of-way-especially if it is,a series. If it is a series, I usually have the next one on my kindle or buy it right away. Some times it will take ne about 30 minutes to pick the next one if it isn't a series.
real fast. if I enjoy the book; I typically finish it within 2 days; 3 days at most and I give myself I day or two off and go onto the next!
I read multiple books simultaneously...
If I finish an audiobook, by the time I get home. I won't start a new one until the next morning. If I finish my physical/ebook at the end of the night, again I will wait till the next day. But if it is the weekend, as soon as I finish, i will start a new one.
It depends on what time it is when I finish. Most of the time, that same day. If it's late, then the next day

I usually begin reading the next book on my tbr immediately, but depending on the intensity of the book before it, it might be a completely different genre. For example, if I finish a horror novel that was pretty spooky, I'll start up either a fluffy romance novel, or something humorous.
Zero time. I read at least 2 books at a time. Right now I’m reading 4.
The next day:)I like to reflect on the previous book before jumping into the next, especially if I select a different genre, (i.e. finish a thriller- next read magical-realism)
Wow! That’s a lot to read at one time:)
When I finish one, I pick up another one. I buy books at really low-priced thrift stores I always have at least 20 books on hand
within a couple of hours at most , usually.
usually immediately unless I have to process some of the content especially when it is heavy subject matter
My next visit to the local library, so typically around a week.
It depends on if it's a great book, an okay book, or a terrible book. Terrible books, I'll pick up a new one instantly; a good book, probably the next day. A great book might take me a few days to get over the hangover.
Oh it takes me a while to get my head out of the last book, then another little bit to find the nxt good book. Maybe a month or less.
I used to have to wait at least a day or so. I always felt it was somewhat disloyal to jump straight into a new book immediately after finishing a good book, like I wasn't appreciating the book enough. 😂But recently I've been starting new books the same day, often within a few hours – as long as I'm not busy.
Like right away, I try to read 2-7 at once
I read and listen to multiple (fiction, nonfiction and graphic) at the same time so I begin another immediately into rotation. Some are book clubs or work related, some get bumped into the queue.
i’m glad this is still getting answers and i love everyone’s dedication to reading :) unfortunately i’m now in a reading slump and i haven’t been able to start a new book immediately after the other :(to answer the question above, it just depends on how i’m feeling! i have no preference. i mostly read romances though, so its usually back to back. i only switch to a different genre when i start to feel a genre slump or i’m just in the mood for something else!
i am a notorious book hopper. i go straight into my next read
That depends on when I finish the book. If it's an audiobook during the day while I am working, I will generally pick one right away. If it is in the evening or at night and I finish the book I am reading, than I might wait until the next night to pick another book to read. I also generally have multiple books I am reading and one I am listening to, so I might just switch to one I am already reading.
I read more than one book at a time. But I read back to back when I change. I don't read a lot of fiction at one time. But I am always reading nonfiction, all the time. I never stop. Unless I take a vacation. I don't read while traveling at all.
I’ll typically start reading a new book the next day after I finish one, or sometimes immediately after I finish a book.
After I finish a book I take time to process the book I finished and then after I take my next read
I read several books at the same time, so there's never any time I'm not reading something. I read a lot of poetry books which you can't finish reading before you start another. Then you may only read a book a year. 😊Right now I'm trying to finish "The View From Lake Como" but just can't get into it. I find the writing uneven and at times cliche. It's taking too much time to set the stage, reminding me of a Henry James novel.
It depends, but most of the time I can start the next book immediately!
it depends on the book! if i really loved it i’ll need at least a night to sleep on it. if the book was just okay though, i can probably move on in the same day.
Ooo good question! It depends! But usually later that day, once I've soaked up the ending, especially if it's one that left me reeling.
I mostly read at night before sleep. I like to have one ready to start for when I finish the current read. Almost all books come from the library, so it is easy to time them.
Normally the same day . It's mainly because I have a Kindle and it's so easy.
Sometimes within minutes of reading and reviewing the last book. I’m a voracious reader.
As soon as I’ve rated/reviewed the finished book.
It depends on how much the book plays with my mind. After reading one of my favourite books, I had to really pause and digest it for a grand total of one whole day before jumping into another book.
I usually have 2 to 4 books on the go so its consistent. Then I get a lag where I don't read for a week or two.
