   I read several books at a time. Both fiction and non-fiction. I wouldn’t know how to only read one book at a time.

     Exactly, Pat. I think reading multiple books at once enhances the overall experience. Sounds like you’re with me 🙂

   I am sorry but I don’t do rafflecopter. I do gone on the authors site and inter there contest. I love to go on the authors site to see what is new and what new book is coming out. Love to read your site. You always have something interesting on it.
   Sometimes I do have more then one book going. My mind is old, so I just do one at a time.

   I can only read one book at a time. It takes me a while to do that as much as I have to do. Sometimes, I have to even go back in the book because I forget what has happened since I last read. Sometimes I wish I could just go on a long vacation and do nothing but read.

   I sometimes read a couple at a time, but I’m so with Anita on this one . Too many books, too little time. Nowadays, one at a time’s all I can manage. Between judging contests, editing for my critique partner, and trying, trying! to get some of my own writing done…well, one book at a time it is. An hour at the end of each day is a treat to myself LOL

   Yes usually have 3 going at one time and trying to get them finished so I can start new ones. Too many good books out there to only read one.(LOL)

   I read one book at a time. However, I listen to audio books while working.

     Terry, here’s a question — do you then listen to just one audio book at a time or do you have multiple audio books going at once? (Obviously not at the exact same time… 🙂 )

   I read several at a time, mostly fiction. If a story is particularly good I will read it straight through without any others.

     Patricia, I love that feeling of not being able to put a book down and reading only one book at a time “by accident.”

   I’m usually reading three books at any given time. One on the exercise bike for the morning (this is usually a print or ebook along with the audiobook for a read/listen); an audiobook for whenever I can listen (cooking, cleaning, driving to work, etc.); and a book/ebook on the nightstand for bedtime reading. When people ask how I can read more than one book at a time I just ask them how many TV shows they watch in a week.

    Oh I always have several going at once! I read on my Kindle and lately I’ve been making sure I leave reviews on Goodreads too. Every time I click that button “mark as reading now” on Goodreads I wonder what people must think about the 7 books I have going!

    I have to say I’ve never actually visited your website – just followed you on twitter. The books all lined up on the slider at the bottom here are tempting me! I’m off to check them out!

    I’m reading 2 fiction….1 on my iPad & 1 hardcover at this time. I read many Christian books….I’ve got at least 2-3 paper & 2-3 I read on my iPad. Every chance I get I pick something up to read & definitely before I go to sleep at night. I don’t think it’s crazy to have a ton of books started…..I’ve done it all my life!!!!! Of course being retired helps, but I do a lot of volunteering, am active in my church & do a lot of crafty/re-purposing stuff, so I don’t just read! I do love your books Diane Capri!!!

    I read several books at once. I just can’t stick to one storyline and need a little of a mix to finish through.

    I only read 1 book at a time. I read mostly fiction suspense but i read non fiction and true crime too.

    Usually two. One on a Kindle, and an audio book on my iPhone. When I was younger I forced myself to get a mix of fiction and non fiction from the public library, but I have to admit the non-fiction barely got more than a flick through if the fiction was really good.

    But nowadays we have the Internet — the perfect research tool. By heck, I make good use of that!

    Thank you for expanding the Reacher universe Diane. I love you for that.
