How many books do you read in a month?

I read 3 to 4 books per month. I rarely read 5 books in a month. I wish I had more time to read at least 5 to 6 books each month.

Most often it's between 3 and 5. Depending on my availability.

I used to average three books a month but joining OBC has upped my game. I now read an average of 5 every month. I am looking forward to increasing it to seven

my ultimate dream job would be to get paid to read.

I have the same ultimate dream; to be a professional reviewer. How nice to hear. It's so nice to get paid for the hobby you love (reading).

On average, I read 3 books a month. I have lots of distractions, that's why it lessens. I can read 1 book for two days if I am not distracted.

I'd say 3 to 4. On a good month I could read up to 5, and on a bad one I try to read at least 2 books. Sometimes it's hard to maintain the habit but I can't allow excuses to prevent me from finding good literature.

The number of books I read a month definitely varies, and for multiple reasons. Sometimes life just gets busy with work, school or family. Other times, I am busy learning something new and putting my free time into that. Or sometimes, the book I am reading is long or requires more focus and it just takes more time to do it justice.
