How do you all like to read a series?

Do you binge it all, finishing one book and moving onto the next in the series? Or do you read one book then have a few palette cleansers before progressing with the series?

I find sometimes when I binge a series I can get a bit fed up of the world or characters and feel like I then slow down my reading due to getting a bit bored of the same thing🫩 However, when I take a break in between, I can struggle to remember details from the previous books🤦🏼‍♀️

How do you tackle a series, or do you just avoid them? Any tips and tricks, I am curious✨

I'm such a huge fantasy reader, but I still haven't touched ACOTAR or Fourth Wing, and it actually kind of baffles me! Seriously, how have I not gotten to these?!

I'm really curious to see hear everyone's opinion. I personally prefer paperback, but if I have to read hardcover, then I will. Edit: I didn't expect so many comments

Best tips for reading more than one book at once. Go!

I feel like a lot of what I do can be easily associated with reading, hobbies like crochet and listening to music, pair well with reading, either an audiobook and something to do with my hands, or a physical book and background noise, and writers are almost always readers, so I fit pretty well into those boxes, but what about my hobbies that stray from book adjacent and book compatible? I like to paint from time to time, and that's a nightmare to do while I read. I also like to talk to people, and I think it'd be quite rude of me to open up my newest library hold while asking about someone's day. (I consider talking to people a hobby. Yeah.)

So, my question for you all: What's the least bookish thing you like to do? Are their any hobbies that pair horribly with reading? I'd hate to be a horror book fan, and someone who explored abandoned buildings, for example.
