Some people read one book at a time. Some people have a number of them on the go at any given time, perhaps a reading in bed book, a breakfast table book, a bathroom book, and so on, which leads me to…
- Are you currently reading more than one book?
- If so, how many books are you currently reading?
- Is this normal for you?
- Where do you keep your current reads?
For once I am actually just reading one book at the moment, a strange thing for me. Because usually I can be reading a couple of books. I can't say how many are normal but 2-3. That way I can choose the one that fits my mood the most. But in the end I do focus mostly on one book, and then when that one is finished I move on to the next one. And might start a new one in between. Then there are the times like this when I only read one book.
My books can be found on my night stand, at the other end of the bed. Floor...yes the might sometime end up there too, it all centres around my bed. Maybe cos I have a small flat and the bed is where I sit, well I could leave something in the living room but since I am not living alone I wont.
And of course there is my bad, yes if I am leaving the house there is a book there.
How about you then? 1 book or more?
I usually read one book at a time; the most is two. Any more than that and I'd get confused, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI usually read once fiction and one non-fiction at a time. I don't like to read two fictions because I always get the stories messed up in my head (I always figure it out, but who wants to think that much when they read?) and the non-fiction is good for on the go places.
ReplyDeleteI keep both by my bed when I'm at home, and keep the non-fiction in my purse when I'm on the run (if it's small enough).
I can only manage one at a time. I get stories and characters confused if I try to read more. I am going through my TBR's slower, but I am able to concentrate more on the book at hand. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Melody, I understand about that, I myself have no idea how I do it. Maybe I am constantly confused lol.
ReplyDeleteI heart monster, that is a good idea how to do it :) Fiction and nonfiction.
Luckily my purse is big enough, a bit heavy though
Missy, I think I got used it as a kid and now I can't stop. The stories stay in their own places for me.
Happy Thursday :D
Usually I read two or three books, sometimes even more...I have got used to it and only if I find something really interesting I read only one. No problem with stories or characters either.
ReplyDeleteThree or more. I need to do that according to my changing moods!
ReplyDeleteBooking through numbers
Eva S, yeah it's simple isn't it when you get used to it, but it does take practice I guess.
ReplyDeleteGautami, yes I am so the same, I need books for my different moods :)
I'm a first time visitor and I love your blog...It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGuilty - because of lack of time I have to read more than one book at a time or I wouldn't get to read at all. I'm a author, so much of my time is spent writing books.
I don't get to read as much as I'd like - that's for sure.

Thanks for visiting my blog Hawk :)
ReplyDeleteI do like to read many books at once, more me it's more fun that way. And easy too.
I understand if you do it like that when you are an author.
I get freaked out if I see a book on the floor. I don't know why. I cannot read more than 1 book at a time, I wish I could though.
ReplyDeleteVioletcrush, oh yes I shouldn't be so careless with my books but they might end up there when I am reading...but if anyone shows up I am quick to save the poor book
ReplyDeletelol... Violet, don't look down ;-) Ach, I have kids, so books pave the floor sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the "just one book" thing. people watch more than one tv series, or take more than one course in school, so why can't they read more than one book? *sigh* Maybe it's just my ADD... :-D
I'm one of those that can't read more than one book at time. Once in awhile I'll read a fiction and a non-fiction, but other than that, I get confused easily :)
ReplyDeleteI am the same -- usually 2-3 books at a time, depending on my mood.
ReplyDeleteI used to only read one at a time, but now I'll do two-three, and it's a mood thing like you. And there's nothing better than reading in bed! It's one of my fave things in the world.
ReplyDeleteThekoolaidmum, I have to agree with you on that, I don't get it either. I can keep track of my books. But on the other hand it's easier with one.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I think I and my fellow many book readers are a minority here :)
Jess, just like me then :)
Caorlyn, yes nothing can compare to reading in bed :) Comfy, big and warm under the covers
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Blodeuedd:
ReplyDeleteI'm reading 4 books at the moment and normally have about 3 on the go at the same time. I like the e-reader for reading in bed and I usually have at least 2 paperbacks on the go from different genres.
Are you looking forward to a nice long weekend?
Warm regards

Hi Lea
ReplyDeleteMany books at once is sure nice isn't :D I love to jump from genre to genre, whatever suits me at the moment.
Oh yes, 4 days, yay :D I'll be at my parents, my bf's parents, and his place. Luckily we all live close to each other.
I generally like to read one at a time but find myself reading more than one.
ReplyDeleteMine's up...come on over!
I'm usually a one-book reader but I'm reading three at the moment, so it's very strange for me!
ReplyDeleteI read one book at a time. I get confused otherwise. I keep my book in my work bag so I can read on the bus.
ReplyDeleteI'm a one book at a time kinda girl. Sometimes I'll work on an ebook at the same time as a paperback, but that's rare.
ReplyDeleteI keep my currently reading and some selections from my TBR mountain in my TV stand.
:) VFG
Kim thanks for stopping by :D maybe you will be drawn in and read more now when you started.
ReplyDeleteMae, must be strange if you are used to one, I feel kind of strange cos I am reading only one at the moment :)
Linda, I can understand about the confusion. Luckily I am used to doing everything at once so i like it this way :)
VampfanGirl, nice to meet ya one book at a time kinda gal :)
It is fun and strange to for once read just one, maybe I'll stick to it
my books end up all over the house! :-)
ReplyDeleteI usually have at least 2 going at once too. I also have an audio with me always.
ReplyDeleteI can only read one book at a time, I have tried to read more at the same time, but, I just feel guilty! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog :-)
Marie, I am sure if I had a house it would be like that too :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa, 2 is good :D and audio is an excellent idea
Scattie, thanks for visiting back :)
I'm with Melody about the confusion. Russian literature I can read one book at once because I get mixed up with the long names of the characters. lol
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that you have an award waiting here :)

Blodeuedd,m go check out my place.... I have a special award for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove ya girl!!!
Cecile
only one book. thanks for stopping by mine!
ReplyDeleteHi Blodeuedd!
ReplyDeleteI always have several going at one time, at least two, sometimes three. I like to hop from book to book. I don't know why...it's just the way I read. Unless I've been asked to review something before a publication date, then I try to focus on that book. But otherwise, I read what I like when I like!
Dottie :)
I always read 1 book at a time...the only time I am able to read more than 1 is when I am reading a non fiction
ReplyDeleteMatt, Milet, thanks for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteDesertrose, Cecile, thank you so much :D That is so sweet of you. I am so flattered.
Dottie,same with me, I jump from book to book. It's fun that way. But right now I am reviewing so I am focusing on that single book.
Novroz, I have heard that about non-fiction and fiction
Sometimes I feel I have a blanket of books.
ReplyDeleteI love to read a couple at a time.
I have my current reads near my favorite chair.
I have rectangular baskets with upcoming.
If I get to a point where the book is slowing down or I'm tired of it, then I swap over to another one. I find it easy to do this.
Wisteria, that sure sounds like a poem, did you mean to do that? :D
ReplyDeleteI normally read only one book at a time but recently, I have found myself reading four books and I have no idea how it happened. As soon as I am done with these I am going back to one at a time.
ReplyDeletelilly, some do tend to stick with 1 book :) Surea easier that way but I just like mine too much lol
