Status Updates From Those Who Walk Away

starting this because i'm just not (un)happy unless I have at least two, usually three books going at the same time. one would think that I actually enjoy having characters from different places,times,settings all mixed up in my head so that i'm in the dark as to what i'm reading when I pick one up until 10 or so pages in, whereupon I have to re-read the 10 pages that i've just confusedly kinda not really absorbed.
