How many books do you usually have on the go

I started reading the second of the Shardlake series expecting to love it but I just couldn't stay engaged to complete in one go. Im now reading chunks of it between other books as i do want to finish it. I have a short story collection I'm dipping into also, plus I've started a Stephen King book and I'm listening to a non-fiction on audio.

So, four things on the go at the moment. Interested to hear from other people on their reading habits

One at a time!
I HATED I at school where we had a book on the go in English, and if I wanted to read anything else, you had to have 2 on the go. I can't cope with switching between storylines.
I'm also very much happier now catch up tv exists, and I can binge watch one series, then switch to something else, rather than watching 3 different things, each on once a week.

Omg me too!

I can just about cope with one fiction and aand one non.

A book club one, a fiction of my choice, a coffee table or artbook to look through and sometimes an audible.

At least two (as I'm in two book clubs) but usually have at least one other on the go as well.
