However, if I'm reading a book that is so-so, than I tend to start another book at the same time.

It works perfectly for me. I like keeping things diverse - if I need a break from a book b/c of writing style or something, I go to another. It keeps me sane and I can read all in a nice amount of time.BookGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620998836239969062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918259665291282373.post-39793116061556775362011-01-27T16:52:21.511+00:002011-01-27T16:52:21.511+00:00Thanks for your input :) it seems to work for some...Thanks for your input :) it seems to work for some people and not for others.Alice https://www.blogger.com/profile/13224776445392564169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918259665291282373.post-40187037235841101302011-01-27T16:49:37.291+00:002011-01-27T16:49:37.291+00:00yeah I'm definitely a ONE book-at-a-time kinda...yeah I'm definitely a ONE book-at-a-time kinda person.
