Do you read one book at a time? Carefully make sure to have read every word in your current book before gently setting it down to select another one.
Or do you read multiple books at once? Bouncing from one novel to the next, like TV channels. Occasionally mixing up plots and characters between some of the books. All the while frantically trying to add more books to your already chaotic reading experience.
Those may be the two ends of the spectrum. And thankfully, most of us probably fall somewhere in between those two extremes. There will be times when you only want to focus on one, good book. Then, there will be other times when you have a few that you’re dating at the same time. Unlike humans and bald eagles, reading doesn’t have to be monogamous.
The point is—do what works for you. That’s the beautiful liberty of ready. You make the experience your own. And you get to control how many or how few books you read at once.

Ultimately, it’s about finding balance. Try different things out and learn what works for you. It may take time to get used to. But this becomes easier over time. When you discover your rhythm, simultaneous reading becomes even more enjoyable.
