I have a TBR pile that is about 25 books deep at the moment. I have this habbit, I will read a book that is the start of a series, and then i have to read the series. It started with the Sisters of the Moon series, I did it with Dark Hunters, House of Night, just to name a few. I fine books that i want to read, put them on the pile because i have to to finish the last two books in an another series. I will hop from author to author from time to time. Does anyone else do this or am i just silly? deana

Does anyone else do this or am i just silly? deana I don't think your silly. I do the same thing. I also like to read 2 to 3 series at a time. (I alternate books) What can I say... I am addicted to books! ;D I have so many books in my BTR list that I am actually starting to become scared of my list! It just keeps on growing! I have 41 books on my list so far...

I have a similar style in reading. I start a series and have to finish it unless its ongoing. I have so many books I need to read, and so little time! From series of today to the timeless classics! If only I knew the physics to create a time machine, that would solve most of my problems! =D

I have a TR list of books I OWN that's about 100+ books. But most are the ones accumulated from Goodwill. You know, the ones you didn't plan to buy but bought because they were only $.25. My actual TR list is over 200 books long. D:
Sometimes I get bored with the same author, even though they're my favorite or I like them. I forget what happens in a book easily, so I have to read a whole series through, unless it's completely unforgettable. Usually when a new book comes out in a series, I have to read some of the previous books in the series. D:

I have a pile of about 25 books waiting to be read. My problem is once I get a book stuck in my head I have to read that book, no other book will seem interesting until I read the book that I'm obsessing over. I also get hung on series, and once I start a book I will finish it. It may take me a year of starting and stoping but I absolutely have to finish it. Is this crazy or what!

At one time I was reading 8 books at once. I thought it was really fun until I started wondering why Edward Cullen had stopped going to Wizarding School. Then I decided to tone that down a bit.

Reading habits? I have this habit where I don't like noise. I can't read if the radio is on or if I hear the T.V in the other room or even if my parents are talking. I also find that I have to read sitting up. =P I'm weird with reading. I'm so weird about it, I don't know how I manage to read all of the books I do XD

But I grew up having two brother annoy me while I was trying to read, so my tolerance level for that is really high. I've listened to poscasts while reading books before and not had a problem with it.

Maybe if I had your ability I wouldn't get in so much trouble for whacking my sister when I'm trying to read.... *sigh*
