Default How many books do you intend to read this year?

Just updated my good reads to do 27 in 2017 and I've already finished one today

It's tricky whilst being at university. I wish I could read more but they tend to be a distraction, and I bother myself thinking about how much I'm reading recreationally as oppose to academically.

A few more than usual for research purposes because I'm gonna be writing one this year since anything Rob can do, I can do mediocrely!

I used to read so many books but I feel like I barely read anything anymore

I'd love to do one a month, but I doubt it. Will give it a try though.

Read 10 last year I think so I'll aim for 15-20 this year. I'm halfway through one so am using that as "counting towards 2017"

None.

I'm going to focus more on trying out new TV series I've never watched before (and actually finishing them)

I've NEVER finished a book (apart from in school obv), I get about 4 chapters in and lose interest. Short attention span.

My friend on the other hand reads one a day idgi.

I have a few months mags to read first, then a couple of autobiographies that have been gathering dust.
Can't wait to be able to read again.

Well I kind of went crazy in Jan and ordered 2 separate book series and 3 individual books which came to a total of 13 books. I haven't had the time to get around to reading them this year so I'm hoping to make a dent over the summer.
