Jessica Fox | 11 comments How many books do you read on average per month? Sometimes I can read quite a few, but then feel like I’ve rushed and haven’t fully experienced the book. So, is there an exact science how many books should be read in a month?

Ann (annrumsey) | 16928 comments Jessica, for me, my annual average lately comes to about eight books a month, two a week. But in reality that can swing wider between individual months. Vacation weeks or holidays play a role increasing, while some weeks just one finished is the norm. I tend to finish books over the weekends when I can push through to the end. I generally try not to rush, but library due dates sometimes influence a rushed experience. For me it's often simply the books themselves, do they compel me to squeeze in more reading time.

BarryP (barrypz) | 3498 comments I usually read 8 to 12 a month. Some of it is how busy I might be, some of it is how long the book is. I think I do about 125 pages/day.

Jessica Fox | 11 comments It’s true, the quality and length of a book makes a difference. I’ve nearly read two books so far this month, so it looks like I’m pretty standard with my numbers. Another question, where is the last place you read? X

Ann (annrumsey) | 16928 comments Jessica as for your second question, I read just about everywhere. Between audio and digital print books, they go everywhere I do!

BurgendyA | 62 comments Now per month, I could read 2 to 3 books in a month, Well depending on my day, when I am free from work or other life to-dos. I always do my best in always carrying a book in my bag or use audiobooks when I must multitask. Also, use e-books on my tablet or computer.

A year ago & prior I used to read more than three a month, but I've noticed that my pace has slowed since I've lost my Mother.
Little by little I am trying to raise my energy & spirit to overcome the grief. So, I am trying to increase but it is easier said than done.
