Moving From One Book to the Next: Musing Mondays

Another Musing Mondays prompt from Should be Reading:

How far along are you in your current read before you start thinking about what you’ll read next?

According to my Kindle, I'm 76% done with The Royal Sheikh by Katheryn Lane. I have mixed feelings about the percentage complete bar at the bottom of my Kindle reads. I like seeing my progress by looking at the pages on either side of my bookmark, and the percentage bar isn't quite the same. But, it's also less obvious with the Kindle how much reading I still have to do. With bigger books, I find the Kindle less daunting.

But I digress...

Before Kindle, I had books lined up next to my bed in order of how I wanted to read them. This is another way the Kindle is throwing me off. Since I have reading obligations (book club, reviews), I have to now keep a calendar and notes with books to read next.

Except for time management purposes, I am not thinking of the next book I'm going to read until I finish my current read. I like to focus. I have tried, with little success, to read multiple books. I'm too easily distracted, so I'm comfortable knowing I'm a one-book-at-a-time kind of gal.

Now that I rarely go to a bookstore, almost all of the ones near me have closed down (sniff, sniff), I don't tend to get distracted by a new book. I stick with my planned order.

How about you? Do you plan your next book, or grab whatever strikes your fancy?
