I used to be able to read a book a week, however, during the year there are lulls. Also, lately, I’ve been reading lengthier novels, so my average has declined by a lot.

According to my Kindle reader thingie, most books take me about 5 hours to complete based on my reading speed, but a lot of them don’t always list page numbers, just weird location info. Don’t know why. I can finish about 3 books a week based on my reading habits.

I buy about 40 books a month to feed my habit, so I have to haunt discount racks and the like.

It all depends. Sometimes a book of two per week, sometimes a few per month. It also depends on the size of the book(s), and my mindset. I deal w/depression and sometimes I just am not in a reading “mood”. I am also not a quick reader. When my depression isn’t an issue, I’ve read at least a book a week – sizeable books, 400+ pages.

Depends. Sometimes I can read a book in a day or two, sometimes it takes a week, and other times I need a couple weeks or month break. I’m currently in my 29th book this year.

I aim for one per week. It depends on the length and difficulty of the book.

(I have school, work, volunteer stuff, workouts, and a significant other… I’d read more if there were more time.)

Monthly. I’m an impatient reader. I pick up a new book before I finish another so I’m usually reading three books at a time.

4-5 a week. I can finish a book in a day. I read in most of my free time though. Breaks at work. Audio books while I work. Then once the kids are in bed I read for 3-4 hours before going to sleep.

If it’s a little 300 – 400 pager, I can get through it in a week.

When I’m in reading mode, I go through a book every couple of days or so. If I’m doing other stuff like crafting, and reading is more of a just before bed thing, I could go through a book weekly.

It just depends. I will go through stages where I read 3-4 a week then months where I hardly read anything. Just now coming out of a reading slump and getting into another series that has captured my interest. Big books so it took me almost 3 days to read the first one.

It depends on my family, work, friends, volunteer work. When I have time I finish and (enjoy!) a book in one or two days. I read as much as possible every day. I use goodreads to keep track so if you want a figure:
“You have read 169 of 200 books in 2018.”

My daily reading target is 30 – 50 pages per day. A slow week I can read 200 odd pages, but have been known to hit 600 pages in a week.
