I’m jumping in here really late. I have multiple books going all the time. Audiobooks at bedtime, one at a time. Multiple ebooks going, because I review ARCs, post the reviews on my blog and share via social media. Plus I am working on a few reading challenges. I do enjoy hard copies, but I’m getting “old,” so need large print and plenty of light to read them, so tend to prefer ebooks anymore.

It has been a game changer for me too. Sometimes all I am able to read is audiobooks.

My ADHD brain often gets distracted, so I’m either reading more than one book at a time (2-3) or I’m researching background related to what I’m reading. This definitely is a helpful trait as a teacher of multiple types of classes and with students and my own kids reading a variety of different things at once. Currently, I’m reading The Color of Ice (loving the descriptions of Iceland and ice, not so much the descriptions of blowing glass), just started Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead – WHAT A VOICE her narrator Demon has!, and am researching a webquest and background for my Native American folktales unit in my American lit class in August. The drawback is I sometimes struggle to remember specific details when I’m going back and forth. I have a feeling Demon is going to co-opt my brain once I get really going with that plot. I was hesitant, because I hated Dickens’s David Copperfield.

Usually just one. I only do audio books if I have a long drive, so in those cases I’d have an audio and physical book.

if I’m reading a non fiction book that drags sometimes I’ll start a fiction book too and switch between them.

My brain can only manage one book at a time!

I just started reading multiple at a time. The discovery of audiobooks has been a game changer!

Ooh I haven’t really had connections between multiple books so that’s super cool.

I typically only read one at a time. I have in the past read two if the book I’m reading is too emotional to read at bedtime, I will start a second lighter book.

I always have 3 books going (sometimes 4). One ebook, one hardcover and one audiobook. I often have a hardcover nonfiction book in the mix as well. It makes it easier to have something that fits my reading mood. I am amazed by how often there are connections between two books I am reading, even though they seemed to be quite different when I picked them up.
