Then I was busy with school. I am reading Hunger Games again before the movie comes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-89043 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 09:32:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 89043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read about a book a week right now, sometimes more sometimes less depending on how I'm feeling. </p> <p>I read an hour every day over my lunch break, and usually a 1/2 hour or so at night in the bathtub or before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-89007 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 08:47:24 +0000 volksgirl64 89007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read 2-3 books a month depending on length and available time. I typically make it a point to read during LO's naps and before my bedtime. I read pretty fast, which also makes a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-89004 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 08:45:33 +0000 Ardently 89004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I read more than the average person. 10-12 books a month, occasionally more. Plus hours a day researching online. I don't have kids yet though, so I have a lot of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-87294 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:40:16 +0000 Lozza 87294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read all the time. I'd say I average 2-3 books/week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-87290 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:35:16 +0000 Adira 87290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I read a lot less than people, but I probably watch a lot more TV, haha. I tend to only read while my husband is watching sports, haha. Last year I read ~20 books, though this year I think I'll read more. I've read 16 already, though I tend to slow down during the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-87285 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:26:23 +0000 twodoghouse 87285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Disclaimer: I don't have kids, so I think that makes a big difference.</p> <p>I've had my Nook since October 2010 and it has 200 books (that I've read, not including samples of things I didn't finish). I go in spurts. Sometimes I'll go a whole month without finishing a book and other times I'll read a bunch of books back to back. Lately I've been reading a lot and I think I'll read over lunch today in attempt to finish another book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-87244 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 04:06:46 +0000 looch 87244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a lot before my son was born, I could finish a book in 2 days with the commuting time and reading before bed. Now, I probably have 5 books in progress and will probably read only about 25 this year.</p> <p>I don't read fiction, just non-fiction, I find I really have to pay attention otherwise I lose the plot. It's more important to me to have understood the book than to have finished it quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-87242 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 04:02:42 +0000 mediagirl 87242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I read close to 100 books. This year, not so much. I try to get some reading time in before bed... about a half hour or so. I also listen to audio books on my commute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86703 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:27:31 +0000 mrsjyw 86703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I read around 30 books. I hope to read 100 this year... I've been reading the classics again. :) I LOVE READING </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86682 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:12:43 +0000 cupcakemama 86682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as rubies. I have been trying to read more, waste less time online... Except for hb, which is NEVER a waste of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86677 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:07:13 +0000 Bao 86677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I envy you :) even getting to 50 would make me do the happy dance. Good job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86676 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:01:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 86676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I read 115 books but this year I'm going at a much slower pace. I doubt I will make it to 50. I read pretty fast but I have less time this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86673 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:59:11 +0000 Bao 86673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I love goodreads! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86665 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:31:32 +0000 MaisyMay 86665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>according to good reads I've read 55 books this year, 16,613 pages. Like others, I read if I take the train, but I also read for about 30 minutes in bed. I had insomnia when I was younger and used to read when everybody else was asleep, so I am a very fast reader, and have actually started and finished a 300+ page book in less than 4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86660 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:23:29 +0000 chopsuey 86660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't read a book in over 2 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86658 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:11:10 +0000 Bao 86658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: That's my fear that when baby comes no more reading for me, I'm not an avid reader normally but I've been on a reading kick lately reading a book or two a week. Better get it in while I can ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86653 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:54:52 +0000 heffalump 86653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't read very much anymore. I used to before LO... but now my priorities are not reading. My mom is one of those who reads like 3 books in one week, sometimes more. It's crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86652 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:51:31 +0000 Andrea 86652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to read a lot when I had to commute on the train for 2 hours a day. I read a book a week maybe? Now I am more sporadic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86647 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:44:14 +0000 Rubies 86647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-baby I read a LOT - every day - and always bought new books. Now, with baby, the only time I have to read for leisure is before I go to bed but it'll only be for a few minutes as I'm often too tired. But I think I read an average amount in comparison to others. I wish I could read more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-read#post-86633 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:07:36 +0000 Bao 86633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much do you personally read, not including reading to your LO. I feel like I either read WAY more than other people or WAY less...some people I know read over 100 books a year, how?! So I'm just curious how much you all read, and where do you find the time? :) </p>
