How many books do you read per year?

A question, following on from the book thread.

A family member who is into reading reviews their book reading every New Year and usually has read about 50 or about 1 a week. I consider that a lot but wondering if others read more.

I probably “read” 1 book every 6 weeks. I have trouble concentrating, so usually listen to non fiction books or essay-type books.

Audiobooks count!

I’d say on average I’ve read about four books a year for the last five years. Prior to that even less. Years ago I didn’t read any at all. It probably shows too.

@66Mustang I read around 30 books a year on average

I don't read anywhere near as much as I used to these days, last year I bought 2 programming books for Unity on Amazon, and I think I've read about the first 3 or 4 pages if that.

@66Mustang A lot! I have been known to devour a book in a day. I always have a pile of books waiting to be read and quite a few on my kindle app. I love bring around books and miss my library trips.

I usually get through an averaged sized paperback in a week, so I suppose I probably read around 45 books last year, I love reading and have read since I was about 8 years old, I even read through my teenage years.
Senior management also reads, even more than I do. (keeps her quiet lol )

I normally go through a book in about a week at most

Thank you everyone for posting, interesting to hear about peoples reading habits

@Cressida that’s very impressive. I’ve done the same while on holiday but during normal times a week is a quick amount of time for me to “devour” a book!
