According to my Goodreads status, 52.  I assume it's accurate.  Smiley Tongue

I average about 150 or more books a year.

I am proud of all of you!  Part of my resolution for the upcoming year is to "live the life of the mind."

According to my own records, so far I've read 74 books this year, with a few more I'll finish by New Years. Goodreads says I read 75, and there's no way I'm going to look for the discrepancy!

 

I read more books this year than I have in several years, and that's counting wasting a week on a book I wasn't enjoying (Michael Connelly), and another one I don't even remember. But to be fair, I also read And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer, which was a very short novella, so I guess it evens out in the end.

 

I don't like to set goals on how many books I want to read in an upcoming year, because then I find myself racing the clock. I'm just going to read whatever I want, whenever I want, and not worry about totals. I just want to enjoy them!

Listen to at least 15 audiobooks a month while at work (an office job that just consists of me and a computer screen).  Still, because I have to concentrate on work, I often get only he gist of the book and miss some content.

I am on book #198, so I expect to finish book #200 by the end of the year. This is a typical amount for me, as I read very fast and really don't watch much television.
