I'm a fast reader when I sit down to do it, but I have to force myself to get started. I've never loved reading. I try to read one book per month, and so far this year am on track :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573673 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 14:17:40 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2573673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm exactly where you are. I read a lot, and an average book would last me 2-3 days max. These days it's weeks, especially in kiddo's current phase of needing me to sleep next to her (and she goes to bed late too, so I'm dead by the time she's finally out). My goal is to get through 70 books this year and I'm at 34 right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573660 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 14:07:24 +0000 LemonJack 2573660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends. Like you, I used to be able to read an entire book in a day. Now that DD is sleeping better, I have more time and energy for reading, and if I'm really into a book, might finish it I a couple days. But, I also go through months where I don't have the energy to even open a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573645 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:48:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2573645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: haha I'm thinking that's the new me. LOL I ised to devour enormous books in a day, no problem. These days I have no free time. I'm literally fighting to stay awake to take a shower before bed!<br /> I'm super interested in my current book but running on exhaustion with averaging 5-6 hours of sleep a night. Yawn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573643 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:46:35 +0000 Adira 2573643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2 weeks usually. Although I'm at 2 weeks on my current book today and still have about 100 pages to go... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573622 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:18:34 +0000 alphagam84 2573622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days to a few weeks. Depends how good the book is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573593 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:00:01 +0000 Bao 2573593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last month I averaged a book every 5-6 days. They were 425-700 page books. It really just depends on how busy I am and how interested I am in the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573580 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:50:43 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2573580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes me a a loooooong time. These days, I only have time to read if I'm out to lunch. I also read a lot of articles. I'm still only on like page 50 of the book I started 2.5 weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573557 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:35:04 +0000 stiletto_mom 2573557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on how interested I am. I can finish a 400 page book in a day. Averaging around 100 pages an hour.</p> <p>I was an English major, had to read like 7 books in a week. @_@ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-finish-a-book#post-2573538 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:28:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2573538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm over a week into a 400 page book and only halfway through! :( I work full time and DD2 will not sleep till almost 930p these days and up by 5am. By the time she's in bed, I can barely keep my eyes opened!</p> <p>I remember the days where I had all the time in the world and would finish a 400 page book In a day! </p> <p>Le sigh. </p>
