I don’t keep track. Sometimes I can one long book or two shorter ones, sometimes I don’t get to read for months.
Thus discussion is better suited for a different sub, this sub is for recommendations

OhNo_Nacho on
I set a goal of reading 25 books this year, which I am on track for. But some months I get through several, other months barely any progress. Completely depends on whether the book pulls me in or not!

3 sometimes 4. I prefer epic type novels that are 700+ pages.

1 to 2
congress-tart3009 on
Usually 20ish
shortcircuit51 on
Probably 6 or 7. More if I’m reading a good series or on an audiobook kick.
OppositeSnake on
About 15-20 but I binge read for a few months out of the year and then go back to video games and tv.
BeyonCool69 on
At least 2
waterfarts on
This year, I’m averaging about three a month.
SomeGuysButt on
I get to listen to audiobooks at work so I do 1 every week. Sadly my physical book reading has dropped to 1-2 a year
SeaworthinessTop6667 on
My goal this year is to read 24 books, so I read on average 2 books a month – though, som months I might not finish any or only one, but I’ll make up for it by reading more another month
MeanSecurity on
Between 1 and 6. Depends on whether I go on a beach vacation or a hiking vacation!
Eillythia on
I try to read a book a week. But some weeks I dont finish a book and others I finish 3. Really depends on the books. I like reading long fantasy novels, but I also read shorter fiction or classics.
MoonlightCupOfCocoa on
Depends on the month but in average around 4-5 books. 2-3 reading and 2 as audiobooks
al_bedamned on
This year my average has been about 8 or 9 books, my lowest month was 6 books and my highest month was 13 (I went wild in June!). StoryGraph says my average time for finishing a book is about 4 days. I’ve always been a fast reader, and I’ve been getting back into the practice of reading consistently over the last few years. I do track my reading on Goodreads and StoryGraph, and every year I’ve seen the number of books I read go up!
bigsquib68 on
Looking at what I’ve read the past couple of years I’m at about 3 books a month. I don’t set goals or keep track though just read for the enjoyment of it.
neuro_illogical on
3, more or less. Sometimes I really lag, sometimes I can’t sleep and stay up all night reading. I’m just about finished my 22nd for this year so far. I’m a pretty slow reader, honestly.
Ornery-Gap-9755 on
I don’t really keep track but i’d say on average somewhere between 10 – 15 depending on the books length/topic and how much free time i have that doesn’t get put into other hobbies/passions, not including digital rereads.
lumimab on
10 during the summer months, 2 if I’m lucky during the school year (I’m a teacher).
Kimberpants on
6-8 – two for Bookclubs, 4/6 from my pile lol.

This year I’m averaging around three a month.
PristineWallaby8476 on
is this even allowed on this sub – ill answer regardless – i dont read during the semester – cause work – but in the months in between – it probably gets to like 2-3 per month 🫶im not really a slow reader – i read quite fast only my attention span is short/the vibe around me has to be perfect for me to actually get into it – i usually dont read during the day – its always evenings – and some evenings i got someother shit going on and then its too late to read 🤧🤧🤧- what made you ask this dear OP ??? 🫶🌞🫶
phoenix927 on
Around 3, though sometimes more and sometimes less. Right now I’m at 28 books for this year so I’ve been a bit ahead 3 a month for now.
RightLocal1356 on
It varies a lot but if I average out a year, around 6-8 per month. Half of that is YA though, so quick reads.
Mission_Light_183 on
3 or 4 depends on the story and thickness obviously
Past-Wrangler9513 on
4. But it’s more like sometimes I read nothing for an entire month but that’s offset by the month I read 8 books.
Ok-Tomorrow-7818 on
I read 3 or sometimes 4 books, depending on how much free time I have.
ccno3 on
2-3
SamaireB on
On average at least 3.
In reality it’s binge reading in the summer and on vacation, and less reading other times of the year.
Mister-3108 on
About 0.5 to 1.5 but I read slowly and tend to lean towards longer books
sickXmachine_ on
3-4 average, but I usually read a bunch of shorter books (300 pages) and then take my time w a longer novel. My goal for this year was 36 books and I’m on track for that.
WhyWontYouHelpMe on
Average 10 but heavily fluctuates depending what’s going on. So last month was 15, so far this month I’m on 4 so likely will be less. But average for the year is usually close to 120.
Classic_Secretary460 on
Depends: If I’m reading a longer work, 1-2, but a bunch of novellas or graphic works will get me to 4-5.

About 5 or 6.
MarlonByron on
I’ve been sick for a long time, couldn’t focus on reading enough. I recovered and in the last 12 days, i read 6 books, were not big books. I’m planning to read for 4 hours, on avarage; i should read 8/9 books a month, depends if i have things to do, but reading from now on will be a priority.
Fuzzy-Palpitation271 on
8-10 on a good month. 3-4 on a slow month.
Realistic_Caramel341 on
Varies a lot but right nor I am averaging about 6 -8 books a year. But right now I am on Ulysses which is taking me a bit longer
SpiritualWestern3360 on
4 – but I’m including my manga/graphic novels in that.
Bodidiva on
Between 4-6 + some comic books. Many are audio books while I work.
Late-Driver-7341 on
Depends, but usually 6-8 books. I listen to audiobooks while I walk, commute, do chores. And always have 1-2 other books I’m reading for fun or personal growth.
Illustrious_Dan4728 on
I’m usually able to read about 2-3 books a week. So I guess a monthly average of 12 books. My phone screen is cracked and malfunctioning right now, so ebooks are out of the question. Which is my largest form of reading. I’m behind on my reading, I’m stuck to audio and physical books for a time.

I’m averaging 5 so far this year, but a good chunk of those were kind of short

I never used to keep tabs on what I read, but a few years ago I started logging books and realised I read a lot more than I thought.
