As much as I can. It depends on my schedule. Love to spend a whole day reading like I did yesterday, but it rarely happens. I started a new book last night, got to chapter 5? Had to put it down, which I hated to do, as it was from my favorite author. Her ARC. But had an early morning. And have a busy day, so probably won’t be able to get back to it until tomorrow.
My reading time is inconsistent. I can go several days without reading anything at all, and then I go on a binge where I can get through a book in no time. One of my reading goals for 2018 is to be more consistent in my reading habits so I can enjoy more books, especially since my book backlog is starting to become overwhelming.
This last year or two up until a couple weeks ago I was spending much of the waking day reading. Maybe 10 to 15 hours many days. I read the works of Michelle Connelly, Sue Grafton and Harlan Coben in a day or two days each in many cases. The same with many other writers. Non fiction takes me much longer and some non-thriller novels as well. I may have passed that phase and am spending more time writing (Last week , I wrote a story over 9,000 words in one 24 hour period while taking a long break. Never did that before.) I think the amount of time i spent reading this last year is excessive, but I am retired and enjoyed it.
I’m retired, so my time is pretty much my own. I’d say 2-3 hours during the day, and then another at bedtime. If I’m particularly engrossed in a book, just breaks to get a cup of coffee or tea.
It varies with how I feel and how busy I am day to day. I have brain fog a lot so it’s hard to concentrate some days. Also I’m studying towards a Classics and English Literature degree with the Open University so I need to do a certain amount of studying every day as well as reading for pleasure.
2-4 hrs mainly when I go to bed, depending on how sleepy I am or how good the book is! I read on a nook so I can read at night w/o disturbing my husband!
I don’t really dedicate any time but I read anytime I have free time to do it! I carry my book everywhere just in case. Probably get 1-3 hours a day in
I have to be on disability after my Aoritic Aneurysm dissected …. and I have no small children, and a girl can only clean so much …. and I dont watch TV … so A LOT of my time is spend reading …. especially all day when the hubs is at work
Not enough. Full time job (math teacher for 7th and 8th graders which can be challenging, stressful, rewarding, and exhausting) part time job, a 12 year old pug, 8 year old daughter, a husband that works shift work, household duties, helping my daughter with homework, grading papers, and lesson plans are all a part of my daily routine. Once my daughter goes to bed I have a few minutes of me time before I fall asleep wherever I sit.
I know how that is. I worked full time and raised 4 boys several years by myself after my divorce. I did try to read but there just didn’t seem to be any time. Now my boys are raised and have kids of their own and I’m retired. Still very busy but finally can read especially at bedtime. Your time will come too. ?
It varies. Sometimes I watch TV or play games online evenings, sometimes I read. And I always read if alone at meals, when drying my hair, waiting for appointments etc. On holiday I read lots.
it varies … depends on if we have stuff going on that day, or running errands, or if my pain level is really bad (kinda difficult to concentrate when I’m hurting a lot) …. if I haven’t had a lot of sleep …. I like to do a couple of hours, even if broken up .. doesn’t always work out that way though LOL
Totally depends. I have periods where I’ll read 8 hours a day every day and times where I read an hour in a week. Depends what I’m in the mood for and how much free time I have. ??
I depends on the day. Friday’s just about all day as I always make Friday “Reading Friday” No tv, now knitting, just reading. Other days about 3 hours.
2-3 hours. More if I multitask.
1 hour… not enough!!!!

Seeing as how I listen to audiobooks when driving to and from work, I’d have to say 4-5 hours a day of reading.
Even if I’ve managed a good session it’s still never enough ?
10+ hrs
Atleast an hour or 2.
A lot!
Used to read like a man possessed, retired recently, went into a slump, I’am getting my tempo back, three to four hours a day sometimes more.
Ideally 1-2 hours but a lot of days I’m too busy ??
Not enough. Sometimes none ? thanks for the inspiration ?

It varies, but I try to at least get an hour in before bed.

At least 2 to 4 hours. I pretty much read all of Sunday tho and finished the last half of The Nightingale.
Depends on my day, and what I’m doing, but it can be any where from 1 hour, to a good 5-6 hours.

Well i have a Autistic son who takes up most of my day so i’d say two hrs.

I have plenty of time in the summer. If only I could find someone to pay me to stay home and read then life would be perfect.
Not including sleeping or working, I’m always reading. So three-four hours.
I should add that I’m single with no kids.
I try to do at least a hour a day. Sometimes it’s more. but work has been crazy busy so I haven’t been reading as much as I like
as much as i can when i want
I usually get in between 20 to 30 minutes per day
It varies. Sometimes I watch TV or play games online evenings, sometimes I read. And I always read if alone at meals, when drying my hair, waiting for appointments etc. On holiday I read lots.
This reminds me: I should be reading right now.
As much as I can.

8 to 12 hours a day
I read something every day. I also write something every day. I believe if we keep our minds active it helps keep it sharper and helps with focus.
usually after I’ve had my shower and my tv shows have finished..i am reading Wonder at the moment.
Not enough
I read on the bus on every journey and in bed before sleep .
Every moment I can!
I just read your OP.
3-4 hours
as and when I can.
2-3 hours at least
I’m retired so I can read all day if I want to. Usually 4 hours or so.
Depends on the day, sometimes I read for hours, sometimes 10 minutes. Depends on how my daughter is being ?
Every day.
1 hour every day. I’m a stay-at-home Mom so that’s what I allow myself each day.
Too much. It interferes with my writing.
Every single night in bed and intermittently during the day
Every day!
Every day, at least one hour
As much as I can.
Totally depends. I have periods where I’ll read 8 hours a day every day and times where I read an hour in a week. Depends what I’m in the mood for and how much free time I have. ??
When I can. There are days where I don’t get to reading
I do make time every day.
1 or 2 hours depending on day
I don’t read every day but when I pick up a book I read until I finish it.
An hour I’d say
Say 20 mins i read every day but not always a book like to read magazines or news articles
About 30 minutes
Four hours here.
Not enough ?. Maybe 2 hours a day
Two to four hours
I depends on the day. Friday’s just about all day as I always make Friday “Reading Friday” No tv, now knitting, just reading. Other days about 3 hours.
