I suppose 10 or more depending on length, genre, and content. It varies widely and depends on how busy I am (and how many headaches I get, I'm prone to migraines).

It depends on number of pages in the book. If they are 200 - 400 I can clear 8 to 10 books a month. If they are larger books you would have to drop that down to 5 or 6 Maybe.

I usually read 8-9 books. but sometimes the count can decrease depending upon the length of the book and off-course the availability of time to read
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

I read 3 books per month. The number may vary. But I seriously wish I can read more but I don't have time. 😕

Hands down the number varies month to month. I make it a habit to reread my whole book collection to toss out the ones I no longer like to create room for more.While I am doing this I would turn my attention to reading and ignore other things. Once I get done with them depending on things it will probably be months or longer before I get more books to read.

The main reason I do not call myself a bookworm is because I cannot read more than 1 book a month.

An average of 2 as a result of over-commitment,and staying close to noisy environment.

3 to 4 books and when I'm psyched and have a ton of time I could even clear as many as five books.

It depends. I can read 10 to 15 books maximum in a month and if I'm in a reading slump I can't ever force myself to read one single page.

There was a time I could read almost ten books a month, but I had more free time then. Now I only read about 4 or 5.
