How Many Books Do You Read Per Year

[Louis Walles]

I would love to say I read a lot but that would be a lie. Now, that I am no longer in university, the amount of books I read regularly has dropped quite a lot. However, I am trying to get back to reading as soon as possible! I would say I am currently reading about 10 books per year.

I am currently reading one book and have plenty waiting for me patiently so let's hope I will improve and go back to reading around 20 books per year!

Well over fifty a year. It sometimes reaches a hundred, sometimes it gets higher, most of the time it drops because I get busy and have reading slumps, but I try to sign up to me in review teams and such so I read consistently.

I Mainly read around 10-20 books a years depending if a really get into the book. I try and read at least a few hours before i go to bed to chill out with.

I would like to read more but with other activities I'm committed too. I just don't have the time to read more

[Pandora Green]

Honestly for me buying new books and actually reading them are two different Hobbys haha.
And since im a big mood reader its either 7 per week or none at all.
So it varies from year to year but the last few years it was around 100 each

When I am spending a busy year, it can be none or just one. But usually, the number of books I read per year ranges from 2 to 5.

I would love to say that I read a lot, but sadly that's not true. I like to read if I take the time to sit down and do so, but I also often chose other activities instead of reading. I still always have a goal of reading at least a book a month, though, so that would be 12 in a year. I'm on almost 3 so far this year, so I'm a bit behind.

I read around 4 books a week. So, it will be 16 books a month and 192 books a year. Let's round off the number. In all, I read 190 books a year. I really love to read, especially fiction and fantasy. The Harry Potter series is one of my all time favourite. Books are like a source of energy for me. I have a full library in my house. I also like to re - read books. The problem is, I have a brilliant memory, if I do say say so myself, and I remember the story plots of most of the books. Nevertheless, I will always love my books. Full time working and no time reading make Ivy a dull girl.

I feel like I read a lot. After reading some of these posts, I see that does not seem to be the case. I usually read somewhere between 100-130 books a year. My favorite genre has to be Thriller/Mystery/Horror. My favorite book of these genre is The Silent Patient.

It depends on how busy a year that is, so I do not have a set book count, but it can range from 2-15 per year. Sometimes, I read a book in three days, sometimes I can't move forward from a particular page in months. It depends on a lot of things actually, but when I am actually reading, I read very fast. I tend to re-read books slowly again only to feel it more deeply or look at the subtle unglorified things that I missed. My book count therefore includes old books as well.

[Luna Ravenlong]

I tend to read 1 or maybe 2 books a week on average-but if it’s a particularly long/challenging book it can take much longer. On the other hand, there are some weeks (especially if I’m on holiday) where I can get through 4 a week.

So it’s probably about 80ish a year in total.

[Silverr Granger]

I am a very avid reader. I read 100-125 a year.. Sometimes more depending lol.

[June Michaels]

On average I can read between 25-30 books in a year. I used to read a lot more, but life became more busy so I don't get as much time to sit and read. Not as much as I would like. I also struggle to find good books recently so that slows me down a bit.

[Aurelia Lovegood]

I read around 10 books per year

[Harry Walles]

When I do have more time, I do read a bit but not a lot. I would say, I can read about 5 books per year.

Everyone reads at their own pace - don't let the influencers on YouTube's book community intimidate you! In middle school, I once read 36 books over a single summer break. That's my record to date and I don't think I've ever come close to it again. The older we get, the more we have to balance life and hobbies... Currently my reading goal is 120 books for the year, but last year I don't think I even hit 50. The important thing is to enjoy yourself! I use books to relax and to escape the realities or responsibilities of my life for a few hours.

If you don't hit the goal you set for yourself, that doesn't mean you aren't reading enough. I'm not sure how accurate of an indicator it is for testing scores either... Not all folks test well, and standardized testing doesn't necessarily reflect how much you know or learned. (Probably a topic for another thread...)

I wish you luck on your SATs!! (You may have already taken them by now, if so I hope they went well for you!)
