I don't have a set plan, but I try to spread out books that are intellectually or emotionally challenging and read lighter books in between. I often read/listen to multiple books at the same time. I like to have a printed book, audiobook, and ebook at all times.

I like to read my series over a long period of time. I read a lot, 10-15 books a month. I have a couple of series that I'm reading, but I only read 1 book per month from any series, some even less frequently.

Since I get most of my books from the library, I generally just read what becomes available. I fill my queue 1-2 times a month with a variety of genres. I have a small shelf of books I own to fill in when I don't have something available to read from the library.

I like to participate in challenges or have a goal that gives me some direction for choosing books. I joined a genre of the month challenge this year that provided me with a new genre each month and 4 tasks to read books to complete. Now I've created my own challenge to read fiction and nonfiction by authors from 195 countries.
