Reading More Than one book at a time?

 Are you one of those people who can effortlessly juggle multiple books, diving into different worlds without getting lost? Or perhaps you're like me, constantly trying to balance several books but finding it challenging to keep track of the plots and characters? I honestly wish I could, I have attempted numerous times to read more than one book at a time. I feel like whenever I read more than one at the same time, I tend to mix the plot twists, the stories and characters. I honestly do not know why that happens, I tend to be the individual who prefers to finish the book and then pick up my next one once done. YUPPP, IDK why this happens. I wish I could read more than one book because that would make me a faster reader and help me get through my TBR quicker. 

I have found articles mentioning that while multitasking might seem efficient, research suggests that our brains are actually more productive when focusing on one task at a time. Our cognitive resources can become overwhelmed when trying to juggle multiple pieces of information, leading to decreased concentration and increased errors.

The concept of reading more than one book at a time is a popular topic among book lovers. Some argue that it's a great way to explore different genres and pacing, while others believe it can lead to confusion and distraction.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to read multiple books at once is a personal one. Some people find it incredibly rewarding, while others prefer to focus on one book at a time. The most important thing is to enjoy your reading experience and find what works best for you.

What are your thoughts on multitasking in reading? Do you prefer to focus on one book at a time, or do you enjoy the challenge of juggling multiple stories.

  1. When I was a kid I could juggle multiple stories... the book i brought from home to school was different than the book that went on car rides was different from the book i read in bed... Now I usually just read one and if I'm going to read two, it's usually a book of short stories. i don't think i can make time for two at a time anymore.

    thanks for dropping by my TTT earlier this week!

    1. Yes same here! When I was a younger I was able to read multiple books and keep up with them, now a days one book at a time is the way to go.

      Thank you for your comment, have a great day!

  2. So, I can do a physical book and an ebook, BUT only if they are not the same genre, when that happens I get VERY confused!

    1. That is a good idea, having the books be different genres to avoid confusing both of them. Will definitely try that so I can get through my TBR.
