How do you manage to read several books at once? Do you have any tips? Comment below!

I just read them lol. Like you know you have different parts in a brain, for me its like I have a different part for each book. LMAO THAT SOUNDS WRONG

They have to be different enough! If I'm listening to a British historical mystery, any other mystery I might read would have to be modern, or set somewhere else. If I'm reading a nonfiction about traveling, then another nonfiction would be something like the history of milk (which is actually on my TBR).

The key is to change things up!

I do the same! I can also manage if it’s in different formats. Even if it’s a fantasy, then one on audiobook, one e-book and one physical copy.

I guess I kinda do the same...

Totally agree! the same thing happens to me.

I usually manage reading several books at a time by reading a bit of each one every day so that I don't lose track of books I'm reading! Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is super helpful to make sure I don't go into a slump, though.

Yes, I do that too sometimes. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is definitely helpful!

usually i dont, but i do try by telling myself to reach a certain point in each book and then move on to the next. what also helps is reading different books in different formats, so one e-book and one physical copy. then, after reaching the half-way point of each book I'd continue reading the one that intrigues me the most. well, that's how it works out ideally but not always.

Me, too... a sort of quota, or check-off list.

Mine is usually because I can't choose which one I want to read and am moody. So I will start a book when I feel like it, regardless of if I have finished others yet. They all get finished eventually.

I'm a mood reader too, and that does get annoying sometimes...

I usually pick up a book and then another one catches my attention and I end up with 3-5 books at a time haha so I usually decide a schedule. I'll read 3 chapters and move to the next book and so on. Maybe one catches my attention more and I'll finish that one. I'm just a messy reader.

I manage reading several books at once by having different formats that I'm reading in (audiobook, ebook, and physical). I just read whichever one I'm in the mood for and it's helps me to read more

I read in different formats too, I’m mostly dependent on audiobooks and e-books for reading!

I really don't have a specific way ahah, I just do it!

That’s definitely there, sometimes we just go with the flow. :)

I start reading a book, I get bored I start another one, I sometimes finish the book I started after like a billion years so...

That’s an interesting take, I kind of agree with this. :)

I have so many books that I started ages ago which are still pending.

Sameee

Usually if I'm reading several books at a time, they're in formats. Like right now I have The House of Hades in physical copy and Divergent in audiobook format. And I'll probably start reading Radio Silence as an ebook.

Same here!

This is the group for me xD
I read maybe 4-5 books at the same time! some are buddy reads...
And I always make sure I'm reading one of my arcs, an audiobook and a physical book. The physical book is one I read before going to bed. And I usually try and have a mass market paperback (like a small or thin book) in my bag for when I go to work!

I hope no one thinks I'm weird....:P

Not weird at all! I bring a book with me when I leave in the car to go skiing. Just in case :)

I've gone from 1 book at a time to 2, to 5, to 3, to 1, and now I'm back at 2-3.

I read a lot of books just by myself/for myself but I've been doing more buddy reads and I've just started doing arcs which are fun as long as I don't have too many waiting for me to read! I think 2-3 is good for me!

Good luck on finishing!

My brain sort of auto sorts everything. Idk how to explain you know?

I feel you on this.

I don't always read many books at a time, but because currently, I borrowed a lot of books from the library and will have to return them and travel back home so this is a golden chance to read them, and I start a lot as if I'd finish them faster. Lol

Happy reading!

Thanks! 🤗

I generally mostly read at school. It might be a problem. I recently went on a 4 hour road trip. Didn't pick up a single book. Not once. I have no idea, but I know I have to break out of that habit. Reading at school is- eh. I read because the topics some teacher talk about are aimed at certain kids- in which I am not apart of. But I read most books at school. Causing me to have at least 3 books in my bag, and two more in my hands. Why? CHOICES. I NEED BOOK CHOICES. I might end up finishing one book in one sitting, so I need ANOTHER book choice. So, pretty much backups. :) But either way, SOMEONE HELP me quit my habit of only reading books at school.

I read anywhere. Most of the time, I read at home. Currently I am reading 8(?) books I think. Idk how I manage it, but it's cool

I dont have a specific way. I just pick up a book & start reading, another one catches my fancy, stop this & start that...
Repeat.

Now I have 18+ books which I have been "currently reading"...
Some I have forgotten. = )

I read alot of Non Fiction. I pause reading a book when I want to think about what was said. Then I pick up another book and read that. Then I switch to Fiction when my brain is tired.

I start a lot of books and finish them in 2-3 by alternating every day of two cuz my brain needs something fresh to read I can't finish a book by reading it for many many hours as I am a rather slow reader.
