How many books do you think you read this past year? I know a shockingly large number of people didn't read a single book this past year. However, we're teachers, so we've had to have done better, right?

I love to read, and usually read several books a year. However, this past year, I think I managed to read three books. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do the things I enjoy most. I did, however, purchase a ton of books this last year. So, my to read list is massive.

According to my time line on Libby, this past year is 23 books. It's been busy, so it's a little less than what I usually read. I love being able to check out books on Libby through my library card. It's free and you can check out the same items as walking into a library. I love the convenience and variety. 💕 📚 📖 💕

I’m a slow reader, but I supplement by listening to audio books going to and from work and while doing things around the house.

I love to read. I probably read a book a month this year. The most I’ve read in one year was 24 books. You can keep track on Goodreads which is a nice feature of the app

I used to be an incredibly avid reader. But I haven't read more than five books this year. I just don't have the time because I'm in grad school and that's taking up a lot of my energy. But I want to get back to reading eventually.

I’m at 1.5 this break alone and expect to finish 4. I love reading throughout the summer and during breaks. I usually pick a series and start from the beginning, using my own collection and filling in from the library (than God for inter-library loans). This past year was probably in the high twenties. Two years ago I was pushing 40. Will have to check out the aforementioned apps.

I read massive amounts, but only two books this last year. I mean to get back to reading books again, but I just don’t make the time.

Probably around 20, but many of those were for graduate coursework, so they were read very strategically.

At least 25- I listen to books on Libby and Book of the Month Club. If I had to sit and read I would only read 1-2 books a year. While listening to audiobooks I’m free to get all my other things done!

Zero books this year, unless you include the Bible. I’ve made it a daily practice to read it, but anything outside of that I haven‘t made time for.

At least 52, if you count Audio. I listen in the car to and from work. Half that if you count reading an actual book or kindle.
