As you can see from our Monthly Reads Posts, how much each of us reads varies from month to month. Even so, we each have our own average. Casee averages about 12 a month, Rowena around 10 and I average around 15. I think we all used to read a lot more than that, but now we have a lot more things that take our attention. Our kids are getting older and are busier, our jobs (or lack thereof) are more demanding. Or spouses and/or families require more from us.
I think we do pretty well. 10-15 books a month is a pretty respectable number. Although in my opinion, reading is fabulous, period. Whether you read a book a month or a hundred books a month, the fact is, you’re reading. And that’s wonderful.
Still, being the nosy curious sort and all, I wonder, how many books do you read per month?
Can I take the Fifth?
I probably end up around six books a month.
I read between 15-25 books a month. I don’t work so I have a lot of time on my hands.
I read 43 in January, 39 in March. Not counting listening to audiobooks. A fair number of those are short catageories, though. — willaful
I’ve noticed I’m reading more since I got my Kindle. And my computer time (which includes my tv watching time) has gone down.
I also counted novellas. If I add in short stories, the total’s more like 20-25.
Anywhere from 25-40 I think. But that includes novellas and shorts too. 🙂
I average about 10 per month but that can change based on the size of the book. I could read several categories a day and get my monthly average in just a few days. Or I could read 1-2 epics and not reach my average at all. In elementary school I would always win the read-a-thon by choosing the short quick books as the contest was based on number of books, not the number of pages!
Page-wise (yes I do keep track!) I read on average 3,600 pages per month.
