Decision | 
I‘ve made an important bookish decision. After trying to keep several books going at the same time, I‘ve decided to go back to reading one book at a time. So I‘ve put aside everything I was reading and I‘m starting fresh with a title I‘ve been wanting to read for a very long time: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothkiss.
I‘d love to hear your comments about one read vs multiple reads.🤓
Foxyfictionista Polygamous reader here. I have one book for my commute and one for home. And then sometimes others on the go. I can't just read one book at a time. But we're all different so you should do what you want to do. ☺️ 6y
LitLogophile I always read multiple at a time but it really does stress me out! 6y
CatLass007 I used to read just one book at a time. When I joined Litsy, I started reading multiple books. Now I‘m back to one at a time and I prefer it that way. 6y

Samplergal I can not stick to one. I actually have 18 going at this moment. 11 are on Serial Reader. I read by mood. So if I don‘t want to read The Underground Railroad tonight I have several choices. I love non-fiction almost as much as fiction. And you need more focus sometimes for a dense read than a beach book 📖. 6y
LauraBeth I enjoy reading the most when I‘m reading only one book. However, I do have some ADD tendencies, so I‘m constantly battling wanting to read more than one. But enjoyment-wise, I need to be in a committed relationship with just one book 😀 6y
LeahBergen @LauraBeth I so agree! 👍🏻 6y
Jess7 I always read more than one bc I‘m a mood reader and if a book isn‘t interesting me at the moment, I like to be able to switch to another one. 6y
Christy2318 My absolute preference is only one in a single sitting especially if I‘m really into the book. However, I will read multiple books depending on library due dates, book club etc. I also tend to not read nonfiction straight through so sometimes I have nonfiction on the side while reading fiction in one sitting. 6y
Tamra Generally single. 6y
quietlycuriouskate I typically have a poet, a novel and a non-fiction going. Since Litsy, I've usually got an audiobook on Overdrive, too. 6y
Lcsmcat I have multiple - one print, one eBook, and one audio - but I need to keep them different from each other. If my print book is a memoir then my audiobook might be a mystery and my eBook literary fiction. Or if they‘re all literary fiction they will be set in different time periods and written in different styles. Add a read along or buddy read and I can have 4 going but that‘s my limit. 6y
AmyG I used to have 1 book and 1 audio going at the same time. Then litsy happened and now I have 5-6 books going. I will say you picked a GREAT book to read. 6y
Mdargusch I have an audiobook for driving or doing chores, an easy book next to my bed, and then another one downstairs . 6y
JillR I can only have one book on the go at a time. I also read to both kids on alternate nights so adding just those two extra books in often leaves me confused about what I‘m reading, ha! 🙈 6y
minkyb I can only read one book at a time. I have tried many times to shake things up but I guess I have a one track mind. 🤷🏻♀️ 6y
Redwritinghood I‘ve been feeling the same way lately, although I think I can still juggle an audiobook along with a hard copy or ebook. (edited) 6y
EvieBee Nice! I‘m a one book at a time person but I decided to try multiple books at a time last year and really enjoyed it. I think for myself it just depends on my anxiety levels. In the end, no matter how many books I‘m juggling I can only devote most of my time to one book anyway. 6y
EvieBee @Redwritinghood Same here. Always got an audiobook going. 6y
