I think I currently have 15-17 something books marked as currently reading on my page. And I don’t consider any of them a DNF, those I tend to remove pretty quickly.
I’m usually going between about five at a time, and always at least one paper, one e-book and one audio book. The rest I tend to either read a bit here and there, or have felt compelled to take a break of unknown length from.
And yes, even though I always forget everything about most thing in my everyday life, I’m quite good at keeping track of what’s happened in what book.

Ah! I feel much better now haha. I usually read 2-3 books at a time. I’m the kind of reader who has to be in a certain mood for any particular book.

I read at least two at a time. So, I think it's completely normal.
But if I start too many at once, I'm afraid I might lose interest in some and they end up in the "worst pile ever", which includes books that are great but I've still left them 200-something pages in, fully meaning to come back to them but never did.

yeah, i get that. even if im loving a book, i need to be in the right mood to read it, so i have a couple different books to choose from at any given time depending on how im feeling. but i dont want to read TOO many, because i dont want to lose focus or interest. gah!

Alas, the eternal dilemma. The *just* right number of books to read at a time.
Have you read the entire Lightbringer series?
