There was a time when I would have answered this question with, "As often as I can". My high for books read in a year was 163 in 2010. Last year I read 39, which I realize is still a high number for some people.
I read quickly. I prefer print to ebook, but so many review copies are now only available in ebook form, so I've gotten used to reading on my tablet.
When I fell into reviewing, I tended to accept any and all books offered to me. Now, I've become more discerning in what books I do accept for review. It really has to grasp my attention. For the most part, I've stopped doing scheduled reviews or book tours, because I just don't like reading for a deadline.
I read every day. I don't always read review books. However. I always read before falling asleep. So my daily reading total is usually around 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
What about you?
I feel like I don't read as much as I used to either but my life has become busier!
ReplyDeleteI'm averaging reading about an hour to two hours daily. Except on Sunday;s. I might be getting a half hour of reading on that day. If I do tours, I don't review the books anymore. I choose to do a guest post or highlight. Deadlines are tough for reviewing and I review better when I'm not under that kind-of pressure. Then there is NetGalley. lol. Whole different ball park.
ReplyDeleteThis year my goal is to read 53 books. We will see how that goes!
I am currently reading, 1-3 books/mo. If I am loving the book, I may read it in one or two sittings. If it's an ok book, it is more like 4-5 sittings. I also like the print version. I am getting more use to e-books too, though. I try not to accept free books for more than I can read in a month, even though it is tempting.
ReplyDeleteI read every day, for at least an hour or two. I try very hard to read on my lunch break at work and then for at least an hour at night before bed. I would read all day every day if I could ;)!
ReplyDeleteI read during lunch...and the book in my hand is much more important than the food. And when there's nothing on TV (which is most nights), I read after dinner, too. But if I had to answer your question truthfully, I'd say I don't read nearly enough. :)
