Six at one time is a lot...I thought I was weird to typically have 3-4 going at one time.
Currently my non fiction book is
The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb. What an interesting educated woman she was, in a 32" tall body. I'm at the point of the beginning of the Civil War, as she has just spent 3 years as almost property of the first "riverboat sideshow" owner she made the mistake of signing on with. She is trying to get her name out in public so P. T. Barnum will hear of her. She wants to be known and remembered as an educated person, not a freak.
My fiction book is
The Angry wife by Pearl S. Buck, about a Southern belle during the years after the civil war. I'm having trouble staying with it for some reason. The book is rushing through the years, which may be part of the problem.
I have several pieces of lite fiction that I've bailed on due to obvious padding and repeated convoluted nonsense. I'm too distracted lately, and it's making my reading suffer from attention deficit.
