so... do you guys have a hard limit on how many books you'll read at once? what is that number determined by? i somehow keep reading like 6 books at the same time and now i'm curious what other people do and how y'all manage!

i tend to just... borrow 1 book that has like no one waiting for it, 2 books of different genres that i can pause at any time and not feel pressure about it, and then the rest on top of that are whatever holds become available and i want to read them next. especially if it's a book that has been on hold for a looong time and i've been waiting quite a few weeks, i'll just go ahead and borrow it and collect my loans like a little gremlin.

...i also want to note that someone had mentioned in a previous discussion (i forgot who - if they show up or i remember, i'll add their user here!) that once you borrow a book on libby and make sure you have the book downloaded, you can go on airplane mode, return the book on a different device, and keep the book for however long you need to read it. i only just now did it because i amassed too many delicious books this time around, whereas the last time this happened i just devoured them fast enough before my loan deadlines. so thank you to whoever that was!

I'm like 2 weeks and 3 books into my pagebound experience, and one of the coolest parts to me is the chance to post and discuss along the way in a book, but I'm also struggling... once I get to a part of a book that is so good or exciting that I want to talk about it, I am so engaged that I just blow past it to keep reading and never post or make a comment. Then I finish the book, but have way too many thoughts at 100%, haha. Part of the challenge for me is that I do a lot of my reading at night before bed or first thing in the morning and I don't keep my phone in my bedroom, so the opportunity to just stop for a second and post right then isn't always available. I've thought about taking notes separately/kind of collecting thoughts along the way and then posting the backlog later?

I'd love to hear how others think about posting- do you tear yourself away from the action to write something? Wait until a natural stopping point? Note/highlight and process later?

I convinced myself that i needed to reread this before I read James, even though plenty of people told me it wasn't necessary. If anyone did, though, I'd love to know if there's anything you're glad you looked out for!
