How I Read Ten Books at Once



It is one of my greatest joys to sign into Goodreads and mark a book "finished." But every time I do that I see the eight or nine books that are still in progress. And they never go away! That's because I actually read that many books at one time. This is how I do it: (All of these are physical books unless marked otherwise)

1) With my morning Bible reading I always read a Bible study book (usually Kay Arthur) and a few
pages in my hymnal. (and the Bible!)
2) After breakfast my husband and I have prayers together and read a book with daily Bible passages related to the church calendar and another book of inspirational devotional thoughts.  
3) Friday is our date day and we read outloud to each other from a book of short stories. (It's been James Heriott for the last four years.) 
4) An audiobook to listen to while in the kitchen or doing exercises (varies between fiction and non)
5) One non-fiction book on my nightstand to read before bed
6) One non-fiction book on my Kindle to read when I'm bored (usually on a long trip)
7) One fiction book (Kindle or physical) for escapist reading

To tell the truth, beside the four titles I read every morning, I probably read only one or two of the others each day. So it's not as overwhelming as it seems. Still, it looks pretty crazy!

Anyone else a serial reader???
