I would like to read a book a day. Its not practically possible for a busy mom. I try to read a book a month.

I never even thought to keep track of my annual book count until this year. My goal on Goodreads is 28, and I've read 25 so far so I should be good! I set my goal late in the year though, so in 2014 I'll probably try and read around 35.

I usually read about 2-3 books a month. This is including books I have to read for school. When I get overloaded with school work or work itself I find it difficult sometimes to get a good amount of time to read.

I would say I average about 30 books/year.

Somewhere around 50?

But with the addition of free e-books to my collection the number has probably doubled to a 100

I have a personal goal of 75 a year, but I never actually achieve it. I normally read between 50-60 books. Maybe one year I'll hit the 75 mark and be happy but until then I'll keep trying! :D

I would say about 50-60 in 2013. So far this year in just January I have read 7 books. I'm hoping to read 100 books for this year.

I am amazed by people who can read whole books in a week. Granted, I should remember that I read a book in a weekend, but it is a rarity. I love to read, but I also need to get other things done for my family. I always set a goal of 10-12 books a year and usually end up with an average of 24 books a year.

Probably usually around 60 or so but this year I want to read close to 100 because so far I've read 6 books.

This past year, I've made a pact with myself to make a point to read more. During high school, I got a bit distracted with the ridiculous amounts of work I put on myself. However, during my last year and a half at college, I've read probably close to 200 books. I read 87 last summer alone and I've definitely been keeping pace since then.
