Do you read multiple books at once? I do, and it can feel like feasting at a buffet—a literary one. I am currently reading a non-fiction paperback and a fiction ebook. Since only the fictional novel has characters I need to keep track of, I don’t have to worry about confusing my characters’s dramas. That had happened to me before when I started a new fictional tale while in the middle of another one. I did that because I had borrowed a book from the library and needed to return it soon. It was quite the juggling act, keeping the plots from both books from dancing together. My brain enjoyed the workout.

Usually, I prefer to give each book its moment in the sun. I have read 37 books so far this year. Let us see how many more I can complete before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve.
