Depends what type of holiday it is… I don’t do the relaxing pool/beach holidays, mine are always cities so I usually just take one or two as the only time I’ll be reading is travelling

I used to pack loads in the pre-kindle days. Maybe a few less if with Eurocamp or similar as they always had ones to swap in their mobile.

I went to Saville for 3 and a half days and only took one book. Read in the airport and on the plane. Forgot about the seista time!! Was finished after the first day and a half ? I had to borrow a book from the hotel!

For a week I’d take 1 or 2 max. Depends on the holiday I guess, I’ll read lay by the pool or on the beach but there’s so much going on I wouldn’t read more than that. Don’t think I’ve read a full book on a weeks holiday!

That being said, a Kindle is perfect for when you’re going away. Less space & as many books as you want just in case!

In the pre Kindle days I would reckon on 10 books a week. Now, thanks to my trusty Kindle I take LOADS. However many books you decide on have a splendid holiday. XX

Depends on hols?
If I’m on the beach or by the pool with no kids then about 3 or 4 a week .
With the kids probably only 2.
This holiday… camping around Europe on my own with 4kids and driving 200-500 miles every 2 to 3 days… 6 days in and only on my first book?
But hey having fun and making memories ?…all good!
