Since I recently started blogging I have come across this question by other bloggers: Do you read one book at a time or do you read many? This has been an interesting question for me. And my answer is actually surprising to me. Before I started the blog, I never would have dreamed of reading multiple books at once, well unless it was for school, but that is a whole other story... When I used to read I would drown myself in the book. It was tunnel vision. You literally had to yell at me to get my attention. I would be so absorbed in it. Back then I felt that if I wasn't giving the book my complete and full attention I would possibly miss something or I maybe I would forget important details.
Now i'm finding that it is actually a lot easier to go from one book to another. For instance I have my "everyday book" right now that is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. This book is over 500 pages. Since I work 40hrs a week there is no way i'm going to be done with this in one sitting. So I read a little every day, when I don't have a story I'm reading for review.
So I guess my answer is that if I am reading a story that has been requested for review I will give it priority and my full attention. And then there is my everyday book....
