I voted 4-5. That's about all I can handle monthly. But, then again, it just depends on what I'm reading and what the page length is on all the books I'm reading that month. I don't understand how some people can read 10+ books. Am I just slow? It can take me anywhere between 1-2 hours just to read 50-100 pages alone.

I read at least five books a month. It depends on what I have going on. Sometimes I will read a book a day

Hard to vote because it can vary so much depending on what is going on and what books they are

I normally will read approximately two books a month, since I have to balance school with my reading.

It depends on what books I'm reading (how big they are, how complex they are, etc.) but usually around 3-4.

I usually average a couple of books per week, more or less. More in a good week!

I generally read at least 1 book a week. 4-5 books per month.
However, if I get my hands on a series that I just cant put down I can easily read 2-3 books a week!

It truly depends on what kind of books I read. If it's a heavy read then I can only read like 2 books a month. If it's a light read than I can finish like 4-5 books a month.

I usually read 7 or 8 books a month. I'd love to read more, but once I start a new book it's too hard to put down. Nothing gets done at my house when I'm reading a good book!

I just read one book in one month. But I really love to research on the author and his or her writings style and the topic he or she chooses and the word are used in his or her writings.
