My target is to read 60 books. That's approximately 5 books in a month... I am trying to challenge myself. Read about 48 last year.

My goal is 125 this year. I started to really get back into reading at the beginning of 2022 and set a goal of 24 which I blew out of the water, ending 2022 with 112 books read!

That's a great goal; about 1 book a week! It's always best to start small, as with any goal.

I agreed with you. I am moving gradually already. Thanks for your contribution.

I usually read between 25 and 40 books a year. Reading more than a book per week sounds incredible to me ahah
I don't care about how many books I read though, most of them are really long and I take like a month to finish them. My main goal is to try to read a few pages every day before sleep :)

It changes based on the year for me! Some years are more busy than others but I would say that I always read more than 20-25 books a year. Some years I get closer to 50, but I don't actually have an exact number on the most books I've read. This year I seem to be reading a lot more books so maybe I will set a new record for myself!

It usually ranges anywhere from 50 to 110 books per year depending on how busy I am in a given year! The more exhausting life gets, the less I read unfortunately! But I’m doing pretty well this year.
