I posted a thread some weeks ago asking when and how you find the time to read. Thanks for your replies. I'm been reading more since then but am wondering just how many books you've read in the last year?
I've read 12.

I'm on 51 - I'm getting twitchy about whether I'll actually make it to 52, I think I need some thing easy to finish the year off on target!

My total so far is 35. I was hoping for at least one a week. Will try harder next year.

I must admit to bringing up the average. I read very quickly and get through a book every 2 /3 days. I work f/t and have 2 children and a busy DH. I read at every opportunity & late into the night. I am a big fan of our local library (could not afford to fund or store my habit!) and visit regularly getting out between 12-16 books for myself and some for the children, who (so far) have not inherited my tendencies. My mum is the same as me. I also love listening to audio books and radio serials on BBC Radio 4 Extra. I don't cook much (DH does) and am not mad keen on housework! so perhaps should read less and engage more... but it's an addiction. I have to read. When I go away I pack books first. I couldn't have a kindle, I love to hold a book.

Not enough . One of my resolutions will be to read more. Hopefully one book a week. And mumsnet less.

Hmmm about the same, although some months I'm more prolific than others.....Depends what grabs me though....

I'm the same!
In my defence, 2012 was the year I discovered mumsnet.
But I WILL aim for 2 books a month next year.
Its' not as if I find it a chore, I love reading...just spend too much time doing 'stuff'.

About the same. Always see the new year as a chance to read, say a book a week. It has not happened that way........
