I'd say it depends if I'm in a reading slump but if I'm not, around 3 days??

its me a week or if it really good 2 days
Anywhere from a day and a half to a week, depending on how much spare time I have and my interest in the book
I generally target for 1 book per week. However, if the book is really good or if i am in a reading block, the time might differ. I have finished some books in one day while others have taken me years to finish (I would read some pages one day randomly and leave it for months.)
It is variable upon my time to read, the page length, and obviously the readability of the book.
Usually it's consistently two weeks, unless I really enjoy it then I can read it in a day or two
usally about 4 to max. 6 days and when I don't have school in 2 days
Two days for a book around 400 pgs - if I'm really enjoying the story and want to stay up late to keep reading.
it used to take me months! now I can finish one in one week
4-5 days, usually aim for 20% per day.
Somewhere between 2 to 5 days, depending on work schedule.
depends on the book's lenght and how much I'm interested in. Also available reading time is a crucial factor. But a shorter book with 200 -300 pages takes me 4 or 5 days
Depends on my free time and how good the book is. A week or so if you have free time. Hours or upto 3 days if it’s a book that just that good
Depends on how much time I have.....a week probably unless it's over 600 pages🙂
I also shoot for one book a week, but like many of you it varies, depending on how much time I have and how drawn I am to the book. Don't you just love it when it's a book you can't put down? It's so gratifying to be so into a book that you read it within a few days!
Depends on the day I start. Usually two to three days. I've read many in one day, especially if it's my day off. But longer books - or those with heavier/darker plots - can take a few more days.
depends on the book. I'm a slow reader compared to most. 3 Days to 2 weeks.
My average is 3 days, but I usually have more than one going on and some take me weeks and others go much quicker.
Oh, gosh, if I am blessed by the reading gods with a particularly compelling tale + a slow work day, I can easily devour a book in a matter of hours.But just like there are intuitive eaters, I consider myself to be "an intuitive reader" I check in with myself throughout my reading experience and pause when I am "satiated"
Even if it's in the middle of a chapter!
Sometimes I will slowly work my way through a book over the course of many months so I can savor it. I am doing that with House of Leaves and In the Buddha's Words right now.
During the school year, and few weeks. Summer ☀️ I can get through a book much quicker!
One to two days depending on how boring it is like I finished releasing 10 in about 2 days cuz I loved it but king of envy took 4 days
Usually 3 days, although if the book is just not gripping me it will take longer. If I'm really loving it sometimes a day or even a few hours.
Depends on how into I am and the things I need to do. I've gone anywhere from a day to a couple months.
Totally depends on the book - how long it is, how much I'm into it - and how much free time I have!Can take two days or a month!
Been averaging a book a week so far this year, but again that's an average... because 4-5 of those books have been 800-900 pages, and a few have been under a hundred! lol
I do not read fast. If I really really get into it I can read a little faster, slower if the book is slow going. But I just go at my own pace I do not try to push myself to go faster than I know I can. I read for enjoyment therefore I will go the pace that is right for me. Sometimes it might be a week, or a week end, or a month if book is slow going. Plus we adopted our granddaughters when they were young and now they are 12 & 13 so we do things in the summer, bowling, playing board games, card games, crafts, diamond painting.
usually 1-3 but 4+ if its not that intriguing or i’m busy
depends but most prob 7-10 days
it honestly depends on the book and how much it has my attention.
it takes me two weeks to a month depending on the book if it's a biography it's around two weeks if it's on history it may be longer if it's a graphic novel it may be one day to a week depending on how many books I got going at the time.
24 - 36 hours if I have the time. A week if I am savoring the writing.
if I enjoy the book it could take 2days, if I'm not that hooked, maybe a week or longer depending also in how much time I got on my hands 😅
Depending how much time I have. From 1 day to week mostly.
I have a pretty demanding job, and I’m pretty active in my day to day life. I try to read a book a week, but if it’s slow going it can take me up to two. The colder months is usually when I get more of my reading done. And then sometimes I’ll read more than one book in a day. Or 3-4 books a week
It depends on the book, from a few hours to a few days.
depends how much I'm into it usually about 3 weeks I'm a slow reader
Depends how involved i become in the book
If I have a lot of time 2-3 days. If I'm busy it can take 1 - 2 weeks
This depends a lot on the book. There are books that I devour on the day they release, especially if I've been craving them for a while and they're not more than 250 pages. Then there are other books that take me a few days. It also depends on my mental state.
It really depends on: - the length of the book (obviously!)
- the days of the week (I can read more on the weekend)
- which format it's in (I can read my kindle or books on my phone while I'm on the move or washing up or eating, a paperback or hardback take me longer)
- how much I'm enjoying it or how engaging it is
On average, I'd say a week for most standard novels. Novellas less time, YA less time. That said, my reading list since January would suggest I'm closer to an average of 7 books per month.
Few hours, depends on length but read avg 100 pages per hour. so can easily do 1 or more books a day.
