I read a lot I suppose but not at such a fast rate. I definitely read over 10 a year, but each month I read a slightly different amount than the month past. It depends on RL schedule most of the time so I cannot usually have much say. It also depends on if I find a book to read. Otherwise, I'll just read fanfiction <3

It is hard to give a regular number because it differs depending on what is going on in my live at the moment. On average, I guess I read at least one book every week most of the time. It was easier when I was younger and did not have as many obligations and of course it also depends on the kind of book it is. Nowadays, I spend a lot of time every day getting to work and back by public transport, so that gives me some time to read as well.
I cannot even imagine what my life would be like without books. I probably would have died out of boredom by now.

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high.
Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew -
and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.

I definitely agree with everyone who says it's kind of difficult to find the time between school, extracurriculars, etc >.>. Between school work, HOL, and the volunteering I do, reading has sadly been something I've done less and less. BUT, I definitely still read quite frequently. I would say I end up finishing a book in (give or take) a month, and I especially get a lot of reading done during the winter break >.>. I always have a small pile of books that I want to read, but every time I finally finish a book and can grab another one from the pile, a new one is added and it's neverending . Which is good of course, but never getting to the bottom of that pile feels a little unsatisfying

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
Last year I managed 25 books. I've upped my own goal this year and I'm hoping for 30. I've just decided to start reading the outlander series, so there should be a good chance I'll reach my goal.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
Hmm, it really depends, but I do read a lot, I'd say around 70-100! I often don't have time to read though, which makes me sad.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
Wow! That's pretty impressive. I've never really kept track of how much reading I do. I think I read maybe 2-3 books a month so that would come out to about 24-36 a year.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
I am working on reading more books a year. I fell off the reading wagon more than I would like to admit. I have joined some reading challenges now to see if I can't read at least one book a week. So far so good!

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
I usually read a lot of fanfiction but I read almost no books. This year however, I've read 6 books in a month in my trip to the sea. Books are good when there's no internet
Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
It were the times when I was reading much more, but now there is no time left for reading. So I am reading perhabs two weeks per week.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
I used to be able to read upwards of 50 or more books a year, including the books I had to read for school otherwise I never would have gotten that high. I've always had a ridiculously busy schedule. Now, I'm lucky if I get 30. This year I've read nearly that, and I'm hoping to get to at least 40.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
I try to a for 52 books per year, so one a week. Lately I have been surpassing that by 10-12 books. It would be nice to get through 100 in a year. Maybe 2018....

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
I usually read upwards of 30 books a year. I've managed to surpass the 50 book mark at least twice in the last 5 years, and I just missed it in 2017 by 2 books. I generally try not to set reading goals for myself though (with the exception of the Book Club's Summer and Winter Reading Challenges), as every now and then I like to tackle slightly longer books.

Re: How Many Books Do You Read Per Year
A few years ago I was able to find the time to read over 100 books a year, but now that number has dwindled down to a mere 40-50 a year.
