This week's theme:  Reading One Book at a Time Vs. Reading Multiple Books at a Time!

Ok, so this one is not so easy for me. I do prefer reading one book at a time, but most of the time I have multiple books started & reading them at the same time. 

Why? 

Well, one of the reasons is that I'm a really moody reader. I read almost all genres, and when I read a book, I want to be in a mood for it (even if it's from a favourite author), 'cause then I enjoy it to the maximum & it has my complete attention, but if I'm not in a mood for it, I put it aside until I'm in a mood for it again (although there are those rare books that although I'm enjoying them, I put aside because I don't want to finish them yet, either because I don't want them to end at all, so I try to postpone the inevitable or I can't make myself finish them at that time because of something that happened in it or something I know it will happen, or something like that, but I do want & plan to finish them, and I'm not thinking about books I gave up on because I disliked or maybe even hated them, although I rarely give up on a book, but yeah, there are those I wish I never read). 

But, back to the theme, as I already said, sometimes when I start a book & I enjoy it, I might stop being in a mood for it, so I put it aside until I am ;) I don't have problems with forgetting where I stopped, or what happened, I have a very good memory when it comes to that, and I never mix up what happened in which book, 'cause usually the books I've started at the same time are from different genres. Also, I can have a previously started book, put it aside & started another one which I didn't stop reading until I finish it, so I didn't read anything else while reading it, and that's what I prefer, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen. 

I've literally jumped around books, sometimes because a reading slump, when I've been searching the book that will end my reading slump, or sometimes because I don't know what I'm in a mood for (re-reading a favourite usually helps then), but I have to say that one have to be careful with what books will start at around the same time - at one time (probably around 2 years ago) I started 3 books at almost the same time (it was for a read-a-thon) & I absolutely fell in love with them, and I couldn't put them down & I didn't want to put them down, but thankfully I was free then, so for 2 or 3 days I literally jumped around them all & read a few chapters from each until I read them all, and yeah, I was feeling like I was going crazy doing that and since then I'm careful about starting books I think I might love at the same time, so yeah, it hasn't happened since then :) 

And as always, I tend to forget myself, but as a conclusion: 

What do I prefer? 

Reading one book at a time. 

But, what do I do? 

I do both equally: I read one book at a time and I read multiple books books at a time!  

So, this time I'm undecided :)

So, what about you?
