I only ever read more than one book at the same time when one requires too much concentration to be read half-awake before going to bed, so I grab something easy.

I read one book at a time. I feel that if I read another book simultaneously, I might lose interest in the first book. In my opinion, books with murders, twists and cliffhangers are best appreciated when reading them one at a time.

I always end up doing that, specially reading books on reading apps wich require collecting point to open chapters.

I think it's not a problem to read several books at once because finishing a book doesn't have to be done one by one and must be completed before reading a new one.

Many readers enjoy juggling multiple books because it allows them to switch between genres or topics based on their mood or needs. I do it too but mostly when its fiction and non-fiction, or veryyyy different genres to avoid confusion

Unfortunately not,I get to read a book one at at time.I have never tried it.I think one at a time is good because it will lead to optimum concentration unlike if it were two

I am rarely reading only 1 book at a time, I can’t explain it but I need more than one to think about. I try not to overlap genres so I don’t mix them up but sometimes it happens anyways

I often have a physical book that I read at home and then an ebook that I read while I'm out.

Reading more than one book at a time is a real hussle as my concentration would always be divided. In the end I would not be able to finish the books
