Man, I am a fast reader, or so I thought! Since joining Litsy I think I am a slow reader or just don't read enough every day! I am baffled (and IMPRESSED) by how you guys read so many books every month! I love the monthly reading stats I see month end. I always think of joining in but my measly 1 (maybe 2) books a week seems so weak compared to you all! How do you guys do it?!? 📚 #BookProblems

TheBookHippie Insomnia ..lots of long trains in traffic 😂😂😂constant waiting always have a Book or two on me. No TV. 8y
Bostonmomx2 Sometimes I read 12 in a month. Sometimes only 3-4. Just depends. Post yours, we want to see all the reads 😊 I neglect a lot of things because of reading and don't watch much tv at all. 8y
Mamalala13 I only read about 2 books per month ;) I have too many other things to do, like studying or doing sports ;) 8y

TrishB Everyone reads at different speeds! Post too - we're all interested 😀 8y
vivastory I don't have children & I'm currently not in a relationship. I don't have cable & any tv I watch is either Netflix or a movie (6 hours per week max.) 8y
rockpools 1 or 2 books a week is still awesome! 8y
MinDea Thanks for all the positivity and encouragement guys! Looks like I need to watch less TV and read more if I want to keep up with all you Litsy folks..could I also work less and read more?! 🤣😂 8y
MatchlessMarie I feel you! I am a SAHM and Summer is probably my least productive time for reading unless it's an audiobook I can multitask with 🙃 8y
Ms_T You should definitely post your stats, they're great for book recommendations and anyway, it's quality not quantity 😃 8y
sprainedbrain One or two per week is still waaaaay more than the average human, I'm sure. Everyone reads at different speeds, but as long as you're reading and enjoying yourself, that's all that matters. 😃 I will say that my total is usually half audiobooks... I listen to books whenever I am driving, exercising, cleaning, cooking, etc. I also don't watch tv or movies often... I prefer to read when I can. ❤️ (edited) 8y
Scurvygirl You're doing great!! I could never have read this much when my daughter was little. I also read a lot of graphic novels that up my stats and break up the monotony. 😺😺 8y

My attempt to read at 4:30 am. Dinah was quite perturbed when I tried to turn the page. #catsoflitsy #readingproblem

Returning to Power of Reading for my last #LitsyPartyofOne book. It's a very interesting book, but reads slow. We'll see how far I get by the end of the day. Dinah has bailed on me and is napping instead of reading in her curtain fort.

I'm afraid to commit to a TBR, but these are books I'm either currently reading or will be reading in April. Subject to change on a whim. #apriltbr #aprilbookshowers
