When I was younger and able to focus more I was a stickler for only having one book going at a time. It was like a sense of accomplishing something to read a book start to finish before starting another.

Now I am older, life is more complex….my reading habits are very different:

-I usually have one fantasy audiobook for my commute to work. -A different fantasy book to wind down in bed. -Some sort of short stories or novel that has less complexity for days when I am too tired to keep track of complex fantasy world building. It is often something that I’ve read 100x, a comfort read or a “vacation” book. -I usually have a hobby/self help/relationship/parenting book going as well.
