Hopefully I'll change my mind one day... ;)<BR/><BR/>Matt - I hear you, Matt! If I'm reading a thick book, I'd want to read another book as well! ;)<BR/><BR/>JS Peyton - Wow, I'm envious that you're able to read so many books at the same time!<BR/><BR/>Jo - Thank you so much for the award! :) You're too sweet!<BR/><BR/>Wendy - I wish I've more reading time too. I'd be so glad if I can finish a book within a few days' time, hehe.<BR/><BR/>Debi - That's funny, because I envy you for being able to read so many books at a time! :D<BR/><BR/>Jeane - Exactly! I don't read more than two books and I always make sure they are of the different genre. <BR/><BR/>Kim - I used to do that at a stage but I give up since I want to give my full attention to a book which I'm reading. I rarely have time for re-reads so I guess this is the best option for me. <BR/><BR/>Desert Rose - I couldn't read two books of the same genre, I get confused easily, LOL.<BR/><BR/>Naida - Yes, as long as they're of the different genre, it should be fine. ;)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-25932648939721298512009-04-13T11:47:00.000+08:002009-04-13T11:47:00.000+08:00Mervi - I think it's good not to read two books of...Mervi - I think it's good not to read two books of the same genre to avoid any confusion. ;)<BR/><BR/>Violet - I cannot leave home without a book! I always make sure to have a book in my bag wherever I go. I guess it's a habit I couldn't get rid of. ;P<BR/><BR/>Kookaidmom - I only read HCs at home, for I don't want to carry the extra weight wherever I go, hehe.<BR/><BR/>Sandy - I wish I've the passion for audiobooks but unfortunately I couldn't get into them no matter how hard I try. And the same goes to ebooks. It feels so good holding a book IMO. ;)<BR/><BR/>Yvonne - I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. ;)<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - I think this is the best way of reading more than two books. It sure can be confusing reading two books of the same genre, eh? ;)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-67519781494735179892009-04-13T05:40:00.000+08:002009-04-13T05:40:00.000+08:00I prefer to read one at a time, but sometimes I do...I prefer to read one at a time, but sometimes I do read two or three.
