@Sara it sucks when life gets in the weight of reading. I do most of my reading on the bus to work on my hour-long lunch or for a little bit on week dates after my daughter has gone to bed winde down
Some short ones I manage to finish within a day. Then there are some I started more than a decade ago and never finished even though I always meant to.
It seems when my kids were younger and I worked, I had more time for reading even though I was busier. Now I have a lot of free time and I found myself missing reading. I’ve consciously started reading more a few months ago. I’m not setting any records or anything, but I’m giving myself 2 weeks to read a book. My mother always used to say, “give a busy person another job and it will get done”. So true!
Reading ….?It depends on the book. As a full time working mother, I read at night (insomniac) so can absorb a really good book within two evenings and if its long and tedious but “ I have to do it” then I will take a couple of weeks because I read other books in between. Sometimes I juggle 3 or 4 books. – depending on my mood and level of distraction. I find reading a romance or mystery keeps me in a better head space. Life is hard, I get too emotionally tied up in the story. Prefer books that make me smile for ages afterward.
Usually, I try to read everyday but life often gets in the way!!! “The schedule” rules what reading time I get. And, I’m really struggling to get through “Arcadia” by Iain Pears so it’s taking longer than is typical for me. I just don’t like the premise for this story and am trying to slug ? through to the end…always hoping that I can find redemption on the last page…?
A week or two
i work full time and have a three year old
I work 2 jobs so it’ll take me a couple of month

It depends on the book and my understanding to it.
Depends on the book. A couple of hours to a day or two.
@Cleo
Hi Suzanne r u asking me how long does it take to finish a book?
Really depends on the book, some take me months others I can finish in a day ?
Some short ones I manage to finish within a day. Then there are some I started more than a decade ago and never finished even though I always meant to.
Depends on the book and what else is going on in my life. Guessing, probably a average of 3 to 4 days.
A year or two.. no joke.. I can never find the right time or energy to read..
2-3 days
As long as it takes.
Depends on the length of the book, the subject matter, time available. Can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks.
Depends on the book
Depend on how busy I am, 50 pages a day approx
Me too.
Me too.
Depends on me and on the book – some I want to devour, some I want to savor and some I just want to hurry and get it over with!
Totally depends on the book. Anywhere from less than a day to never. lol
On average 2 weeks, depending on what’s going on… and how good it is. Lol
How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop?
Sometimes more than a month and sometimes less than 2 hours

Honestly depends on the book.
Depends on the book and size. Most are done in a week. But Patricia Cornwall’s Port Authority is taking me 2 years
Depends on the book. I finished HP7 in two days..

Depends on the book maybe half a day maybe a week
Read 50-150 pages a day.
3 days – ish.
When I read the last page?
Depends… a week to a few months depending on the book!
It could be anywhere between one night to a whole month. Depends on the size and genre.
1-2 days

Honestly? About a month.
