How many pages you read in a day yaar ? My god your list itself is like a book now.....

Please share ideas on your reading speed and how you manage reading sosny books? You read all simultaneously or complete one and then move to another?

Amazing you are

Sometimes if a book slows me down, i will pick up another to read simultaneously. Otherwise I like to finish a book before I pick up another. I also try and switch genres. Like if I read a romance, then I try a read a thriller next. I do have two books ongoing now since I’m doing a read-along with my book club and we read only one chapter a day, so I will finish that book only by end of April!

I love Agatha Christie novels too :)

I try to read 200-300 pages a day. Some books slow me down. Like my latest read did slow me down a bit and then y'day I wasn't feeling too well so my reading took a beating. I'm attempting to finish a book a day - it doesn't always work though but by DNFing books that don't immediately grab my attention and slow me down, it helps get there sooner! I'm doing that particularly for the reading challenge. Otherwise I'm not so ruthless - I try and give books a chance.

Wow.... I just moved on from reading 100 pages a day from 25 pages a day.... So it takes 2 to 3 days for me to finish a book.... 1984 it took a week as I was reading it very slow.... Thats the reason I started Jeeves simultaneously to reduce the gloomy effect of 1984... It worked....

Great Lizzie... Thanks for sharing your thoughts.... Will try to slowly improvise.

Not a 100% but hopefully will get there soon

Bee, I saw that you've put down Emily Henry's Funny Story in your list. Let me know how that one goes for you if you end up reading it!

Finally updated the google sheet and my log post!

Current read is - Dirty (Book 2) by LP Lovell and Stevie J Cole. Enjoying it but I also feel some of it is dragging which is making me eye other books on my to-read list
