Yes, just reading one book at a time means that you’ll finish it much quicker! I have to do that sometimes when I have a library book due. All the other books have to just wait until that one book is totally finished. One year I didn’t let myself start a new book until I finished the previous one. It had its advantages! But I found I didn’t read near as much as a result. Thanks for sharing here!

Ha. Well, it sounds delightful to me. He’s obviously a man who really loves to read. ? I’ve been known to slow down too at the end of a book when I don’t want it to end. It never works though.

He has NO system at all. Whatever strikes his fancy at any given time. Mind you, if he gets really into a book, he’ll binge read it until he finishes it. On the other hand, sometimes he loves a book so much that he’ll read it slowly, just a few pages at a time.

That’s interesting that your husband picked up his multi-book reading habit from his mother. I’m curious what his system is. My system serves me well during “normal” times, but this month has been super busy and it’s not working for me. ha. I’ve resorted to focusing on one to two books only (library books that are due!) before I open another one. Oh well. Flexibility is important too. 🙂

I don’t like to have more 5 books going at a time either, but unfortunately at the moment I am stretched beyond that. And failing to get to them all very often. I like your choice of three different books. Thanks for sharing, Nicci.
