I read quite a bit, especially at work, so I go through quite a few. Often one a day when I'm working 12-hour shifts overnight.

During the summer I read a book every 1-2 days. During the school year, as an English major, I usually read 2-3 books per week as well as the required class reading which is usually 2-4 books a month.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the amount that I read.

It varies for me, but on average if its a page turner I can finish it in a couple days. I was reading the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel and "My Sweet Audrina" by VC Andrews in each in 1 day. When its that good of a book I can NOT put it down.

I usually read more than20 a month, depending on the numder of pages. If the books are 300 to 400 pages Ill read way more than that. I have alot more time on my hands than Im used too. Reading truly helps me escape, and its a great pain management tool. Ive aleays enjoyed reading, and i read almost anything.

I generally manage a book every couple of days depending on how many pages and how hard it is to understand...so I'd say at least 10-15. I'm a home-maker and my husband works early in the morning, so I have a lot of time in the evenings to read.

I only read about 2 books per month. I do love to read, but since I am a pretty slow reader sometimes I feel like I'm wasting time if I spend a whole day reading and only get through half of a book. I have recently begun taking public transportation to and from work every day, and I've found that it's the perfect time to crack open a book!

I read from five to six books per month depending on my free time. I consider reading as my "me" time and the more the better. I can tune out anyone and anything around me when I am into a good book!

I'd say I average about 2 books a month. Depends on the length of the books! I've had some pretty long books this year that took me over a month to read. Usually when I'm reading a long book, I read shorter books at the same time so I can take a break and keep up with my Goodreads Reading Challenge for the year.
