(5%) If I'm reading an erotica book, I'll only read that when the kids are not home or asleep. So I'll then have a second book that I'll read when my kids are around. If a third book comes into the picture, chances are its YA. <BR/><BR/>Other occasions I'll sort of start TWO different books, and alternate between them for a day or two. One of them usually ends up grabbing me more so and I'll then stick with one until I finish. Then I go back and finish the other one.

Sometimes, one book sucks me in and keeps me hooked until the end; sometimes it takes me a little longer so I tend to play the field a bit.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719293114461054932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-47756259207645789132008-07-05T22:19:00.000-04:002008-07-05T22:19:00.000-04:00I'm not a multiple books reader.

One that I read at home, and the other that I read on the train, plus something that I am listening to, and the book that is the one that I just pick up every now and again.<BR/><BR/>At this very moment in time though I am in between books. I have none that I have started. I am not 100% sure how that happened!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-6449626442502631072008-07-05T18:27:00.000-04:002008-07-05T18:27:00.000-04:00I am the opposite of you, Ican really one read one...I am the opposite of you, Ican really one read one book at a time. I get sucked into the story and don't want to put it down. The only time I would technically have multiple books going is if I start one, can't get into it, and start another. Sometimes I go back to the first book, but often thay end up DNF.<BR/><BR/>I can't read at work since I am busy teaching all day. I do have the private covers and public covers. There are those books I will leave laying out in the "public" areas of my apartment and I don't mind who sees them (landlord, friends, neighbors). Then there are those books that remain in my mysterious front bedroom. No one goes in there except me and the pets. I keep books in there (or hide them away when company comes over) that I don't want to explain. Heck, just last night I made a comment to The Boy about having had more knowledge than "experience" when I was a teenager thanks to the fact I had read romance novels. He was all "Aren't those the books grandmas read?" Doh. I think he and I need to sit down and have a talk.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592907195198835800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-37099943093248522962008-07-05T16:03:00.000-04:002008-07-05T16:03:00.000-04:00KJ, that is a LOT of books!

So funny that you have work books. <BR/><BR/> I think so many books is a symptom of not falling in love with any one. OR is it moods? Or do you just like variety? I'll have maybe three at once.Carolyn Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195853833116263029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-34099368802989204972008-07-05T15:28:00.000-04:002008-07-05T15:28:00.000-04:00Kristie, do you remember a few years back when Kar...Kristie, do you remember a few years back when KarenS did a post asking everyone who read multiple books at a time to "out" themselves? I commented I only read one book at a time. Just one.<BR/><BR/>Within months of that post I sort of got possessed or something. I went through a schizophrenic multi-book and DNF phase.<BR/><BR/>It's been a couple of years, but now I might have two books going at once, but I read fast enough that I'm pretty much back to one book at a time. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and the whole work and cover thing? I'd completely forgotten about it until recently because I have either been part-time or eating away from the work environment. My boss saw one of my books and did some major eye rolling and commented about my choice in reading material. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately we have the sort of relationship that I could let him know that his comments could get him into trouble if I was so inclined. We laughed, and I don't think he, or anyone else in our section, will do that again. However, my cheeks burned red-hot the whole time.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-81132263886428134362008-07-05T15:23:00.000-04:002008-07-05T15:23:00.000-04:00Hi, Kristie!It depends on the books--if I'm truly ...Hi, Kristie!<BR/><BR/>It depends on the books--if I'm truly liking it, I have a hard time changing gears, so I power-read, and then move on.<BR/><BR/>However... there have been a couple of times when I've had trouble <I>liking</I> any one book enough, so I will grab another, and then another and so on and so forth.
