Too Many Books (!!!)

I am such an tragic multi-tasker when it comes to books. I have no idea why I can't just read them one at a time. Every time I begin one, I'm like, "Okay. This is it. A book. Read it. Read it until you're done. Don't even look at another book. Don't even THINK about another book. Not until you are done."
But I'm not particularly fast about my reading, and so even though I don't get bored exactly, I get this, "I need to be freee!!!" attitude. Like a fear of commitment. But with books. As a result, just since the beginning of 2013, I am actively reading four full length novels, and I started and finished a fifth one in between. I'll read three chapters of one book one night, then two chapters of another the next. WHY?! WHY!? All this does is make me slightly confused all of the time while I'm reading. The further a distance I put myself between myself and one story, the more little details I forget and  have trouble remembering the next time I pick it up, making me read even slower as I struggle to keep up with the story. What is more, it makes reading them take that much longer, and I might be stuck on the same five books for three months.

I can complain! I can write a whole blog post complaining about it, but nothing will change. I have been wanting to shake this habit for as long as I can remember, but something always compels me to pick up a new story just when I'm getting into the thick of another. Blargh.

Rather than blahtity blah about all the books I'm reading (as if I could remember the fine details while I have so many going at once. ha.) I am just going to plaster pictures of the covers here. Maybe I will write more about them individually.

But even more likely, I will just go watch Downton Abbey and forget that blogger exists for another few weeks! Fair well lovely readers!
