Sometimes I have a few books going at the same time. I am doing a heavy Read The World reading challenge, so sometimes I have a few books on the side that I pick up for a change of pace. How many do you usually have going? Right now - my number is 4. BUT - before I get negative comments, here is the breakdown. (I will use the books in the picture as an example)
Main Book: "The First Wife" - this book is my main reading challenge book at this time. This is the book that gets the most attention at 100 pages a day, if I can manage it
Audio Book: "I Wish To Inform You" - this book is part of my reading challenge as well right now, but it is what I listen to on my daily tram (public transportation) trips and when I do yard work. I use this book for when I cannot have an actual book in hand, but want to still continue with my challenge.
Kids Book: "A Whole New World" I still read to two of my children each night. We read one chapter of a book together before bed. This book is a spin on Disney's Aladdin (where he didn't get the lamp) They are dark fairy tales, and the kids and I are really loving it (my two are 13 and 12 - just for reference - this isn't for little ones)
Fun Book: "Fire and Blood" Okay - this one needs another name because "fun" isn't always what I would call my choices. BUT - this is a book OFF challenge. Like I said, it is a heavy challenge, so I decided that each night before bed, when I can, I would read 25 pages of a book that had nothing to do with said challenge. Right now I am reading Martin's Fire and Blood (Game of Thrones is my favorite book series) and it is AMAZING.
Currently I'm reading like 8 books at the same time. XD I read multiple books all the time and I don't see anything wrong with it. Sometimes I will have to focus on one more than the others if I'm on a time crunch to finish it like for a buddy read/review/library due date or something. :)
