I was like you in the past, I would pick a book and force myself to finish it even if I really didn't like it, but eventually my TBR pile grew so much that I decided, too many books, not enough time, lol.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878114727242890959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-83699424125432608862012-03-20T19:28:09.923-04:002012-03-20T19:28:09.923-04:00I seem to always read a few books at once these da...I seem to always read a few books at once these days. Or sort of ... the past few months I've always had an audiobook going on in the background while doing house-tasks. I have a whole backlog of purchased kindle books that are un-read or partially read because when a new ebook comes in at the library I feel like I have to sideline the purchased books for the loaned ones!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594436685900756259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-18771676954344359592012-03-19T20:16:18.380-04:002012-03-19T20:16:18.380-04:00I sometimes keep a book on my bed side table, just...I sometimes keep a book on my bed side table, just to read before going to bed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217995773961682662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-55701212131766999652012-03-19T20:15:26.078-04:002012-03-19T20:15:26.078-04:00Thank you so much for your comments, I'm glad ...Thank you so much for your comments, I'm glad to know I'm not alone :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217995773961682662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-91591045613648009862012-03-18T19:56:06.446-04:002012-03-18T19:56:06.446-04:00I'm always reading a book + listening to an au...I'm always reading a book + listening to an audiobook.

I figured to be fair to the book/author, I would find another book fitting my mood at the time and then come back to those two. I definitely found one that is keeping my interest! If I don't do this, then I take a really long time reading.
