How many books a week / month / year?

[skribe]

I only have time to finish (at most) 1 novel per month at the moment.

Maximum one book a week

I only read on the bus/train to and from work. But it's a 90 minute commute one way, so I get in about one book a week, less if I feel sleepy in the morning.

 

I tried how much books I can read in a day once, when I was younger, and did not actually had to be anywhere (school holidays). I managed 3, but it's not really something I feel I'd need to retry.

I only read real novels books, usually 300-700 page fiction novels, whether it's crime/mystery, gothic/horror, dystopian, etc. I dont read magazines or history books, just fiction novels. And I average 3 novels each season.. So yeah, I finish about 11-12 books a year but I used to read more than that when i first got heavy into reading, it was all i did. NOW, i spend just as much time talking about books and i do reading them

I live alone with pretty flexible hours, so I read about 3-5 books a week. It all really depends on the length and consistency.

At that moment I read 1-2 books per month, I haven't got time for more! I have study m degree, English, reading, watch tv series, go out with friends... there are a lot of thing to do.

I have only been cataloguing how many books I read in a certain time period, since last May (40+ books from May until December). Generally though it depends on what kind of books I read, on rare occasion I read one book or less than one book per week, most often though I read 3-4 books per week. When I was younger I could read 7 books per week (one book per day) or even more than that (10 books per week?). It depends on what other things I'm doing, too.

So far this year I've read 90+ books, it'll be interesting to see what my total is at the end of the year.

I try every year to read exactly 52 books (1 book a week) and fail miserably each time    .

 

I've only read 14 books this year and would have to squeeze 38 books in from now until the end of December which clearly isn't going to happen.

 

I put this down to going through phases of reading and other life events that get in the way.

 

Sometimes I find myself going on Amazon or Goodreads when I'm in my 'not-reading-at-all-for-a-while' phase and like to add more and more rather than actually reading them.

 

When I'm on a roll however I can read 2 books a week, 1 the next, 3 the next and then suddenly stop altogether for a month.

 

All depends on the length of the book though.
