@Allana yep I’m hearing you!! I think I set mine at 20. But i would be happy with a book a month. I feel like the ones I have read I have really enjoyed so I’m finding myself reading slower to keep me reading them.
Gail Bauche Sawicki , I read fast as well, but I try not to match this crowd. I have my own personal goals of 12 epic novels, 2 Great biographies, and 5 inspirational nonfiction s.
19 for me, a mix of audible, kindle and paperbacks. Really pleased as 30 for the whole of last year but decided to push myself when joing you guys and seeing how much you read and the recommendations. Thanks???
If you have a smart phone and are cool with reading that way, put the kindle app on your phone. You’d be amazed at how much more you read. That’s how I read a lot last year. 150. I’m only at 34 for the year so far, about ten behind where I was this time last year.
34 or 35, 10 behind where I was at this point last year.
Can I just say how exciting it is to find people who read as much as I do? Everyone I know seems to think it’s this accomplishment. Blah. To me it’s no big deal to read a book in a day.
That’s so great! I used to be a fast reader too but now I have slowed down a lot due to work and other commitments. Also reading slowly does allow me to savour the book at a leisurely pace but how I miss those days when I could devour a book in few hours.
17 here, but I credit that pace to having one audiobook and one paper book going at the same time (well, not exactly the same time – that would be confusing). Oh, and to including some YA, as those go more quickly.
Nice! I’ve read three lol. Full time working mama so not a whole lot of time to read.
I’m with you. I thought I was going great reading a book a month with a child!!
Right? I have a three year old. I think there is another category for us lol.
I’ve a 3 year old too… I’ve read 4 chapters…
Yep I’ve got a nearly 3 year old too. It’s hard when you get into a book and have to decide if to feed them or keep reading!! 🙂
@Lauren haga yep
@Carmel i have an hour long lunch and take the bus to work pretty sure thats the only reason I read as much as i do.
@Erica I have neither these days!!! But once we move to Singapore I’m hoping to find more time!
I’m up to 24. Traumatised by last book i read. Have’nt read for 2 days.
What book traumatised you that badly??
@Sherry . Ruby by Cynthia Bond. Wish i could unread some parts.
Curious minds want to know.
@Judith Might not want to include that one on my burgening list. 🙁
@Sherry . No . I knew it would be a difficult read. But i just had to read it. Would’nt recommend it.
@Judith Thanks for the heads up. The news is discincerting enough.
@Sherry . Lol. Gotta agree about the news. I have found a new book to read. The hunger by Alma Katsu. Hopefully will clear my head.
????
About to finish #18, Sand and Ash
I loved that book.
29 for me.
32 for me. Most are audio books that I listen to on my drive to and from work.
show off.
Just behind you at 38. Great job & I hope they have all been amazing! ?
On book 2… ???
I’m on 3!! 🙂
@Lauren lol I’m glad that I’m not alone ha I set a goal to reach 50 books this year but with work and life it’s challenging
@Allana yep I’m hearing you!! I think I set mine at 20. But i would be happy with a book a month. I feel like the ones I have read I have really enjoyed so I’m finding myself reading slower to keep me reading them.
@Lauren some times I do that too! That’s a great goal. What do you like to read or I should say what are you reading now?
I’m on book 5. Yay for us 🙂
I’m on my 19th book.
???
I’m a bit slow but read 28
23 for me too!
I thought I was doing great with 7. Haha ??
38 completed, but I am 600 pages into War and Peace… Which means more than 38when all is said and done!
19 with many being audiobooks. Does that count? ?
Of course!
Wow – congrats! You’ve done very well!!
????
Damn. All real books? Or some audiobooks too?
That’s like reading 3 books in a week!!
I’m on 5 but it’s a big one haha
All ebooks. But I am a very fast reader..
Nice. I’ve just finished my 22nd book and read 7501 pages so far.
Great. You are good at count. Did you read any math book too!
Haha math and me are not friends. An Excel sheet that tracks my numbers is my friend ?
Yes!!!!!! I’m at 9. Lol
9. Mostly non-fiction
19 so far
5 of 24 here!
I’m on no.5 lol
Congrats ♥♥♥
Wow! Congratulations! I’m on my 19th
How do you read so fast? Only 9 for me. ?
Read at ur own pace. Do not stress.
I have always read fast. But any amount of books read is an accomplishment!
Gail Bauche Sawicki , I read fast as well, but I try not to match this crowd. I have my own personal goals of 12 epic novels, 2 Great biographies, and 5 inspirational nonfiction s.
I’ve read 24??
Good effort, 53 read so far for me
Yeah!!! I read 52 so far in 2018… I am so proud!
@Valeria well done, that’s great
you sure are eating them up!
26 for me ?
35 for me ?
37 for the year and I’ve done 8.
19 for me, a mix of audible, kindle and paperbacks.
Really pleased as 30 for the whole of last year but decided to push myself when joing you guys and seeing how much you read and the recommendations. Thanks???
I’m around there but I don’t feel like thats much because they are are all mysteries which are fast reads and a bit like junk food:)
A month 9 books ?
Wow how is that all possible .??
Gonna ask the same ?
I am a fast reader. Partly to maintain interest in what I am reading.
If you have a smart phone and are cool with reading that way, put the kindle app on your phone. You’d be amazed at how much more you read. That’s how I read a lot last year. 150. I’m only at 34 for the year so far, about ten behind where I was this time last year.
I just finished #20!!!
63 and counting!
25 here.
21 for me!
34 or 35, 10 behind where I was at this point last year.
Can I just say how exciting it is to find people who read as much as I do? Everyone I know seems to think it’s this accomplishment. Blah. To me it’s no big deal to read a book in a day.
40
23 for me.
How how how !!5 for me :/
Probably getting close to 15!
I am only at 15.
I’ve finished 19.
Wow, how do you read so fast?
Have always been that way. It helps that my kids are all grown and out of the house. Fortunately most of them are readers also!
That’s so great! I used to be a fast reader too but now I have slowed down a lot due to work and other commitments. Also reading slowly does allow me to savour the book at a leisurely pace but how I miss those days when I could devour a book in few hours.
@Hasna
I’ve read 2 chapters ???♀️
That’s more than some people will read so it still counts!
Agreed!
Only 10
Impressive! Now can you name the ones you’ve read? I’ve read 5 and have to concentrate to remember their titles. Lol!!
Same! LOL
17 here, but I credit that pace to having one audiobook and one paper book going at the same time (well, not exactly the same time – that would be confusing). Oh, and to including some YA, as those go more quickly.
I’m at 37 read. I think I’m off pace to get to my goal of 225.
Holy moly! Have you made it to 225 in previous years? I get nervous upping mine to 50.
LOL! I hit 225 last year. Not sure if I’ll get there this year, though.
40 is my goal for the year!
I’m reading book 12. My goal is 26, so I’m ahead of schedule. 🙂
65 plus 2 that I quit part way through
I’ve only read 1, lol! Sad, but trying.
I’ve read about 4. But one in 2 weeks.lol
My goal is 50 and I just completed number 20, I am just happy ? that I am on target to make my goal.
44 here
