The ‘currently reading‘ stack.
I always find (when reading several books at a time) that my ‘sweet spot‘ is one non-fiction, one vintage children‘s, and one adult fiction.
What‘s your ideal stack? 😊
Ruthiella I loved Less Than Angels! 😍 I usually have a number of books going at once and just have to make sure that they are distinct enough from each other, whether by genre or subject matter, etc. 3y
LeahBergen Same! I definitely have to make sure that I don‘t read two vintage children‘s books at the same time (as I tend to choose books of very similar subject matter 🙄). @Ruthiella (edited) 3y
Cathythoughts I recently read Less Than Angels .. really enjoyed 👍🏻. I only ever read 1 book at a time , but influenced by Litsy I‘ve branched out lately & have maybe 3 books on the go ... & yes maybe one historical & one more modern / or at least different genres.. a hardback , a kindle book ( for bed & lights out ) , an audio for walking... I‘m finding my way. It‘s fun 👍🏻😁 3y

Simona Almost always my pairing is nonfiction as audiobooks, and literary fiction as ebook/print. 3y
TrishB I only ever read one book at a time! 3y
CarolynM I almost always have a romance going on the kindle as a bedtime book, as well as whatever one or two hard copy books I've got going - mostly fiction but sometimes something factual. 3y
youneverarrived I generally have a non-fiction and fiction book on the go (one on kindle and one in print) plus an audiobook. Works for me 👍 3y
MsMelissa I have no idea what my ideal stack would look like. 🤔 3y
Dogearedcopy Someone once told me that you should always have a fiction, a non-fiction and, a biography going at the same time. (I‘ve always wondered why they made a distinction between NF & bio!) Anyway, my current ideal is a play, a romance and, a wild card choice in audio. A movie based on a book usually makes the mix too! 🙂 3y
MaureenMc I generally have one fiction and one nonfiction going at the same time. Lately, I‘ve found I can‘t have more than 2 at a time, as it just seems like it takes forever to finish them. 🤷🏻♀️ 3y
JenniferP One fiction and one nonfiction. I sometimes add a third long term read (think a big classic like Proust, Don Quixote, a Trollope series). 3y
KVanRead What a lovely stack💕 Mine would be one non-fiction, one lit classic, and one contemporary novel. 3y
charl08 As many as I can get my hands on. #nobookishselfcontrol #toomanybooks 3y
britt_brooke Beautiful stack! For me - one physical book, one ebook, one audio. It can be a mix of genres, but at least one needs to be nonfiction. 3y
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts @Simona @TrishB @CarolynM @youneverarrived @MsMelissa @Dogearedcopy @MaureenMc @JenniferP @KVanRead @charl08 @britt_brooke Thanks, all! I always find it so fascinating to hear about other‘s reading habits and quirks. 😊 3y
ValerieAndBooks My reading mix is usually one or two big chunkster ( if it's two -- one of each of non fiction and fiction), one or two micro-histories, and a quick fiction read! At least 3 going at a time. 3y
LeahBergen @ValerieAndBooks I need to crack into another history chunkster soon. 👍 3y
Suet624 I basically can only read one book at a time. 😳 3y
