Wow, that sounds like I just string them along now, doesn't it?

As a general rule, I've only got one fiction one going on at a time. If I happen to start another one in the middle, I'll usually finish that one before returning to the first. Usually. I am terrible at multi-tasking (maybe I'm not really a girl?) and that seems to apply to books as well. I kind of like to have all my concentration on one.

That said, there are a few books (mostly non-fiction) that I just take ages to read. Some of 'em have been in progress for years now. Harry Potter 5 in Spanish, I'm looking at you. But I will finish you one day, I swear.


Why would you read Harry Potter in Spanish?
