1. Although I've made a vow to read more in 2014, our library is so poor though.

Used to love reading but uni got in the way. I think I'll get back to reading more when I've finished uni.

I read about a book a week. I always read when I go to bed, even if I'm really tired or I've been out.

Depends on the book tbh, sometime I can get through a series in weeks, but other times it can literally take me months to finish one book

I try to read as often as I can though

Well in November I read all 3 hunger games. And this month I've started reading Pattie Mallette's 'Nowhere but up' and I've also started John Greens 'The fault in our stars.'

Stephen King.


You defo need to read Misery by him and all seven of The Dark Tower Collection (the first one takes a while to get into but it leads the way for the other six books which are worth it)

This. I always read before going to sleep, on average I easily get through a book per week, sometimes more. Read fiction; crime thrillers, chick lit and non fiction; biographies and autobiographies.

Ooh! Will do! So far Carrie is an excellent book, but I'm worried that Stephen King may be a little obsessed with menstruation

Usually 4+ but I go through phases of being really slow at reading, I only read six months in the last two months compared to a week and a half in summer where I read eight, just depends really.

Same as others, I loved reading before uni but I haven't in a while.
Over summer I got through loads of books but probably wont again till I graduate this year.
