Follow Friday



Happy Friday and welcome to Slush Sleuth! This is my first time participating in Follow Friday, a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read, where we all get together and say "Hi!" This week's question...

Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?

I almost always have one audiobook and one physical book going at the same time, that way, whether I'm running through Central Park or sitting on the subway I always have a story with me! (Despite trying, I have not yet managed the run-and-read simultaneously thing, so the audiobook is highly necessary). Usually I try to pick two separate genres--say, a Contemporary YA and a Paranormal Romance YA--so there's no chance of me mixing things up. I get really emotionally involved with my reads, so I usually can't handle more than two at a time. Right now I'm reading Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Abby McDonald and listening to Enchanted by Heather Dixon.

What about y'all? Have a different book for every hour of the day, or are you a little more novel-mynogynmous? Be sure to leave a comment and let me know, so I can stop by to check out your blog as well!

  2. Oh, reading two completely different genres is quite a nice way. I haven't thought of that earlier - but maybe it's because I usually end up with similar books and it's hard to choose from. xD

  3. I really like your way of doing it! Haha I have actually seen people running and reading...dangerous! I like the two genre idea too- it's nice to have different books for different moods!

  4. I don't really travel far enough (driving or otherwise) or go running often enough to really juggle an audiobook and a physical book/ebook, though I'm sure that'll change when I get a new job. Because of that, I'm definitely a one book at a time girl right now!

    Happy Friday!

  7. Definitely not a monogamous book girl! I always tend to have several going on at once! I have a horrible tendency to turn everything into a multi-tasking marathon! Lol.

    Hope you enjoy your weekend! Found you through the hop! :)
