Do you ever "round robin" read? When I have a block of time to really sit and read, I find myself reading a chapter a time of several books!! But when life is busy and I have to fit my reading into bits and snatches, I can only focus on one at a time.
Really enjoying a lovely lazy June Saturday. Took a drive, took a hike, and now just reading!! Life is good!
Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve got some heavier non-fiction on the go and when it‘s gets too much I switch to a lighter YA and then I feel guilty because it‘s too light. 🙄🙃🤷🏻♀️ 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Prairiegirl_reading - my husband & I are big read-while-we-eat people (supposedly terrible for health & relationships, but we seem to be okay 😂) so I often keep my nonfiction at the table to read during meals - a bigger chunk of time to soak it in, and a nice place to set what is usually a heftier tome! Then I tuck my lighthearted fiction reads into all the other spaces of the day haha Lately I just haven't had the brain space for nonfiction! 4y
Prairiegirl_reading @TheAromaofBooks I think maybe only bad for the relationship if one is reading and the other wants attention! Lol! That‘s the story of my life. 🤣 I also don‘t have much brain space for non fiction but I‘m trying. Struggling to strike the right balance. One is too much and one doesn‘t fell like enough. 🤷🏻♀️ 4y

Bookwormjillk I do that sometimes, more now that I‘m home and don‘t have to pack a book 4y
rabbitprincess That‘s really the only way I read! I tried reading only one book at a time once and it was physically painful 😂 In normal times I have a bus book, a work book (for reading at lunch), an audiobook, Serial Reader books, Overdrive ebooks, and physical books I read at home. I read a bit at a time from everything and then finish three at once 😂 4y
vlwelser I round robin almost always. Unless I'm totally sucked into something. 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I can‘t! 😅🤣 I‘m so impressed with all of you that are able to do this! I really can‘t stand doing it myself for some reason. Two at a time is usually my max. 🤷♀️ 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Usually just when I'm participating in a buddy read - I'll read a chapter or section first thing in the morning then move on to another book. Sometimes I'll swap to another if I'm reading for a long time or on the go and switch formats. 4y
JaclynW Yes! Lots of books for different times of the day/mood. 4y
