  • Dual book reading

    Are you able to read more than one book at a time? I know more readers who can than can't. I can't; my memory is awful, so I tend to get character names and locations mixed up. Audio books are difficult because my mind wanders; otherwise, I think I would try listening to one and reading the other.

    The problem is, this keeps the books I've read over 600 pages, far and few between. I could read so much more if I could read more than one book at a time! Anyone have any tips and tricks for reading two or more books at once?

    I won't finish either the Maas or Yarros series because of their current political views.

    unfortunately I won't be able to get 100% on this bc the author of Quicksilver wrote an IDF romance so she's on the blacklist for me 😬

    so much of this book feels like general colonialism with some ctrl+f and replacing the real resources stolen with silver and/or magic? I still don't mind it for reasons I've mentioned before but like okay we get it

    Robin found it was actually quite easy to put up with any degree of social unrest, as long as one got used to looking away.

    As an American, this one particularly hurts.
