Reply to Next Book Syndrome by Successful-Design972

I can't read just 1 book at a time. A lot of times I am really enjoying a book, but I'm just not in the mood for it, but I still want to read. Sometimes I get really bad book anxiety and I need to put the book in the freezer for awhile. (metaphorically à la Joey on Friends)

Not to mention that certain books (Non-fiction or classics) I prefer to read in small doses, whereas other books I read them straight through.

Sometimes I even do this thing I call Round Robin where I read a few chapters from each book that I am currently reading in a row, and when I finish I circle back around and start over.

I realize that this might not work for everyone, but I find it very freeing.

Reply to What’s up with Goodreads recommendations? by kevsfamouschili

On the webpage, they also have recommendations that are supposedly based on books that you've read. However, they are are often just bizarre. The most ridiculous one was "Because you enjoyed 'Barns of Wisconsin' you might like 'The Baby-sitter's Club Super Special #3'

I was like "um yeah, I don't think so Goodreads."
