No shame! I’m the PP with 50/100 books being rereads and I promise you most of that wasn’t high literature! Read what you like when you like how you like! |
This thread is shaming me!!

| I've read 93 as of today. I'll probably finish two more before the end of the year. |

It seems most people are including audio books, which isn’t quite the same in terms of effort. |

| 135. Less than last year; I felt busier at work so maybe that's it. |

| 60 since February. After years of not reading much due to having little kids, I'm finally back. I missed you, books! |

40. Three were audio books. Three were young adult. Three were rereads.
I don't really like audiobooks, but I do "count" them. |

| Probably 20-25. |

Really? I think focusing on audio books is different but not easier. I cannot listen to audio fiction, for example, but really enjoy audio nonfiction. I both read and listen to a mix of “easy” and “hard” books. |

| Wow, I’m impressed! Maybe 10-12? My book reading has plummeted - it’s sad. For the last two years I’ve made the New Year’s resolution to read a book every two weeks…I’ll do it again this year, and hopefully meet that goal! |

Same! Kids aren’t all little but four kids 6-15 and I just hit 40. |

| Probably 60-62. I’m at 58 now but have a couple of long flights between now and the end of the year. |

Audio books take more time and effort. It's easier to read. |

I'm the one who said I'm at 37. FWIW - I count books that are over 100 pages that I read aloud to my kids - I decided that is reading so it counts, LOL. I starred the kids' books below. Also - I think if people like to read - more power to them. But I have other interests and hobbies as well

But can you read while you’re driving? It took me a long time to get into audio books but I love them now. I’m at 104. The most I’ve read in a long time. About a third were audio. |
