How and What? "Havah" and "Bayou"

I am currently reading two compelling novels:
Havah, by Tosca Lee, which the a stunning tale of Eve; and What the Bayou Saw, my friend Patti Lacy's newest book, about secrets and lies that haunt us and the scourge of racism.

Because I was already addicted to "Havah" when "Bayou" came out, but didn't want to wait to start "Bayou," I am reading both, going back and forth, a few chapters at a time.

Although I'm a coffee nut, i also love tea, especially Tazo's Awake and Joy!, so that's what i drink while reading. Popcorn or chocolate sometimes join me, enhancing the enjoyment.

How do you read? One book at a time, or several at once?

What are you currently reading?

Do you eat and/or drink while reading?
