It's time for Follow Friday number TEN (I'm finally in the double digits, haha)!!! :D
So let's take a look at this week's question:
Question: Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?
Answer: I usually only read one book at a time. I feel like it allows me to give all of my attention to the characters and plot of that one book; I personally don't get as into a book if I'm reading another one on the side ... I feel like I'm cheating on my book when I do that haha!
No but seriously, although I'm a pretty good multi-tasker, I'm impressed by everyone who can read more than one book at a time and still get just as into the books and their characters and what not.
I kind of relate it to how I write my books: I only write one book at a time, because otherwise, if I don't give one my undivided attention, I feel like I'm personally not getting the most out of it. Also, knowing me I would mix up the characters and the plots and where I wanted to go with the twists and turns and stuff like that.
Long story short, I get emotionally invested into the books I'm reading and/or writing, so I like to handle them one at a time. :)
I'm sure many of you AWESOME readers are going say back and forth between two books, and I envy that you can do that and still get a lot out of a book! I commend you for that, and maybe one day I will possess that skill too! :D
Alright, that's all for this Friday (err-Thursday) folks!!!!
Up next is What's the Word? Weekend, so PLEASE stay tuned!!!! :D

Hahah I love the cheating reference. It really does feel like that! If you've got more than one book going (or relationship) you better be able to keep your facts straight!

What a great answer!! I can usually separate two different books, as long as they're not similar in anyway...but I like what you said about cheating, I kinda feel that way too! I take notes on every thought I have, so when I am reading more than one that helps to keep them distinct in my head. :)
ReplyDeleteOld follower too, thanks for stopping by!!
I can't help but reading two books at a time because there are always so many I want to read at once. Thanks for stopping by. New Follower.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. I totally agree! That cheating part is classic, too. I guess I'm kind of guilty of that? Maybe I should ask my current read for an open relationship? *GULP*!

Have a great weekend, Sharon
Same here. I seldomly up to never read more than one book at a time. I might put one on hold and read something else first, but reading two or more books simultanously? Woaa!

Hi, just hopping through!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say I love your layout!
I'm a one book at a time girl too - and I think I know what you mean when you say you feel like you're cheating on a book if you read more than one at a time, and the brain jumble than ensues!
Happy Friday!
Tara @ Hey, Tara
If I'm very emotionally invested in a book then it gets to the point where I can't put it down, but most of the time I'll have a couple of books that I'm making my way through.
ReplyDeleteNew follower. My FF.
I always read one at a time so that I can give my full attention to it!
