Taking an informal poll. How many books do you guys think you manage to read each year? I used to read 10 to 15, but lately, I spend way too much time scrolling on my phone and not enough time reading. I'm lucky if I read one or two books a year.

I’m lucky if I read 1 a year. I’m not much of a reader though. But I wish I was.

I am an avid reader big into fantasy, romantasy, and young adult coming of age stories. I have read 53 books one year but on average read around 30-40 a year. I will say reading "fun" books that are more entertaining gets me to read them a lot faster/often. I max only 1-2 professional development/self-help/mental health related books a year due to them being so boring for my mind to latch on to for more then 5 minutes lol

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
