I’ve always been the kind of reader who reads one book at a time.I had tried to read more than one at a time before, but that didn’t go so well.
You see, I’m easily confused. So if I read 2 books that have something, ANYTHING in common (genre, plot, time period, etc) then I start to get all mixed up with who is who and whatnot…
Hooowever, I’m reading THREE books right now and I’m not getting them mixed up at all!
Hurray!
I’m proud to announce that I’m reading / listening to 1 audiobook, 1 ebook and 1 paperback 😀 So you can expect 3 great book reviews soon.
What about you? Do you usually get confused if you read more than one book at a time? How many books are you reading / listening to right now?
That’s all I wanted to say really… Haha!
Till next time!
I try very hard not to read more than one book at a time – like you, I just get too confused (might be an age thing!). However, if I’m reading for than two books at once it’s normally a non-fiction and a fiction book. Would be interested in knowing whether the books you are currently reading are of different genres – maybe the potential to keep things more on the straight and narrow!

I’m reading 2 young adult fantasy books and a contemporary one 😀 I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets confused! Haha! But I’ve always been easily confused, so at least I can rule age out… Haha!

I only read one book at a time. If a book is really good though, I’ll just sit and binge read the whole book in a day or two. That doesn’t give me a chance to start another one at the same time! Haha

Just two: a fiction one, and an academic one. More than that and I overload!

I finished studying some time ago, but now I carry on writing academic articles or giving conferences every so often 😊 I studied literature, which is why I still keep being so passionate about it!

I usually only read one book at a time, but if I really, really want to, then two at most. I could never read three without mixing them all up!

I usually am reading a few at a time. I like some variety. Average is about 3, maybe 4. But I can read, like, 7 books at once, too. I never get confused. I guess my mind is pretty good at keeping even similar plot/character points in their respective places. Though, my friend has trouble with reading multiple books at once, but she’s a speed reader, so she can get through a book in a day, ready to move on!

My goodreads profile says I am reading 6-7 at a time but mostly this means I have checked them out, they are sitting in my pile, and I have committed to reading them. What I am actually involved in – usually 2 – usually one ARC on my kindle and one real book at a time; different formats helps me keep them separate in my mind I think!

That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m reading them in different formats so it helps to keep them separate in my mind 😀

2 at the most an an audio book which may take a year to listen too. At one point attempted to read at the same time as listening to the audio book…not too easy yet can manage podcasts/music at the same time, then again you dont have to concentrate on them really. I do prefer to read one at a time thougg

How many can you read at once?? I can manage 2 and an audio book but the concentration went out the window the one time I tried reading and listening to an audio book!!

What an interesting idea/thought. I’ve never tried doing it all. I just feel like I need to focus one, give it all of my attention and finish it. I don’t want to cheat on a book 😉
