2 Books

bargainsgirl — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 19:40:16 GMT

Who reads 2 books at the same time? I keep one at my bedside table and one downstairs. Right now reading another Louise Penney book and a new one I picked up called Chanel and Her Sister.

I have on my bedside two books. One is fiction the other is not. I guess I am that way with other items too. I have probably three or four crafting projects going at the same time --most of the time.

Yes. When I worked I kept one book at work to read at lunch and one at home to read at night. I still often have a day book and a night book, since some page-turners are not conducive to turning off the light and going to sleep.

I have read two books I like to hold a book when I am reading but I also enjoy my Nook. So during the day when I have time I will read my Nook, and at bedtime I will read my paperback book because the Nook as a tablet will keep me awake late at night.

@bargainsgirl

I always have, at least, 2 books going.

One to read & one to listen to.

I read the "darker" books & listen to "lighter" ones because I will turn them on through the night when I wake up.

Then I may have an autobiography going at the same time.

@msgb I always have multiple craft projects going on or in my head, too!

I do. DH typically reads 3. I like reading a fiction and a non-fiction. And I also have 2 knitting projects going. Keeps me from getting bored!

I've been reading more than one book for decades. Actually, I now keep about 30 going. (It works for me.)

I always have the book I am reading next to my chair and then another daily inspirational type book there too. I try to read a passage each day from that as it helps keep me positive and focused on my faith. But only one novel or mystery book at a time!

I have on and off over the years. I am currently in an off period. Meaning I am only reading one book.

I use to have one at work and one at home, but now at work I tend to walk in the morning and afternoon with some of my co-workers so I only read my book that I have at home.

Never have, because I don't just read a book - I dwell in it.

Can't "live in" more than one novel at a time.

I keep several going at one time and have since I started reading. One at the office, one in my car, (especially when I had to wait in school lines), one for my stationary bike reading, and the biggest and thickest books are for my recliner. I have a stack of 10 to take back to the library after work today. Reading several books at one time is a joy.

I read 2 or more books at a time. Just finished the newest Louise Penny book. It's her 18th book re Three Pines, getting repetitious.

I generally am reading two books at a time and also listen to an audiobook when I'm in the car, walking or doing things around the house.

THANKS FOR ASKING........

I doubt I could keep track of two thriller mysteries at a time.

I'm amazed at how many of you can keep 2 or more going at the same time.
