Thanks @Lauram for the fun quiz!! I love this breakdown. 💛📚
To find out how fast you read check out this quiz:

Fun test! In Litsy terms I think I'm a pretty slow reader and I'm fine with that. Turns out that I'm average according to this test......wonder what number you'd get @TrishB 😉

I got this book from the library, renewed it two times and then I had to give it back. I immediately got another copy, because I obviously need a book about speed reading, if i don‘t manage to read it in nine weeks. 🙄⠀

When I say I read fast... lol.

That was fun. I expected a better result as speed reading was how I learned to read back in second grade....but in my defense I had a hellacious day and am mentally and physically exhausted!

388 words per minute. Good enough for me. I figured I was probably above the national average, but not 55% above.

Yeah. I read fast lol. I always have. I listen fast too. I always bump audio up to at least 1.5 and usually higher. 😊

Apparently I'm a quick reader... Pretty sure college made me that way....

Very interesting! :D
What speed do you read?

This was fun. Enjoying seeing others posting their results, too.

Others have posted their scores, and it was fun to get mine!

Holy Schnikes this explains so much. (I don't spend a lot of time reading but I read a lot of books.)

Oops! This is so wrong. I don‘t know what happened. I think it‘s broken, I‘m NOT a fast reader. 😂😂

I've always been a slow reader. I did this test in 2014 and since then I've read MANY books. I'm not as slow as I used to be. Want to test your own reading speed?

Doing some 2018 prep. These are the shortest books on my “potential #MountTBR shelf” on Goodreads. They are all ebooks, which will be good to squeeze in during breaks at work!

I also need to pick some hard copies off my shelf. I really think I‘d like to start with A Man Called Ove.

Of course, my planned monthly TBRs never go as planned, so we shall see come 31 days from now...

Lots of distractions from my #readathon attempt. I feel like I need to speed read to get through the book I‘m reading before tonight‘s Anime on Ice extravaganza.

Sure I did a similar one to this but I feel like these questions are different and I love a buzzfeed quiz. I'm definitely a binge reader, I either read 10 books really quickly or take ages to read one

NYPL speed reading quiz! I got 804 WPM, pretty chuffed 😀😀😀

So buzz feed says I'm a speed reader... I would agree with that!

I am curious has anyone tried this?! #speedreading
