I've read about 33 so far in 2019, so basically one book a week. I expect to top 50 by January 1, 2020.
From 2014 to 2018, I didn't read a single one.

I read about 30 YA books as part of a selection committee for a reading program. I've read about 8 adult books in between/concurrently. That's as of the end of August.
I don't normally read this many books.

I wish I could read at least a book a week but I either don't have time or books that interest me a the moment. I've only read about 15 books this year. Most of that during the first few months. It doesn't help I am a slow reader.

I don't read nearly as many books during the course of a year as I'd like to. Partly because I'm in the same boat as PaulsLaugh; after a certain number of pages, it's sleepy time. Old age as well.
So it ranges anywhere from 12 to 15 books per year.

I usually read 2-3 a week (I'm an old lady with a lot of time to read) so its over 100 a year.

It varies so much, for a few years in a row I'd read about 130+, after that like 70, I keep a list of all the books I read in a year, I'm currently on number 29, this is an all time low for me in the 8 years I've been keeping track.

Some books are a day or two, some are a couple of weeks.
Probably around 25, depending on the size.

One time I read The Neverending Story, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table all in one year, I didn't get a lot of books read that year because of how long it took to get the three of them done.

I've read 80 or more books a year each year since 2013 when I started actively trying to spend less of my leisure time in front of screens and more of it reading books. This year, I have only finished 46 books so far; so I will likely fall more in the 60-70 book range

It depends on my mood. If I have a shit year with too much anxiety and depression, I dont read(too much tension headaches). When Im a bit better, I can read about 1 a week. When Im on my normal levels of anxiety I read 1 a month. And in october I dont read, that month is all about horror movies

About one to two a week. Sometimes three.

I haven’t read a book from cover to cover in about 5 years (or longer).

I haven’t read a book from cover to cover in about 5 years (or longer). Are you just not interested in books, or don't have the time, or read other materials (magazines, newspapers, etc.)?

I generally read about two or three books a week, so I suppose about a hundred or so a year.

Since I've been keeping track the last few years through goodreads I average about a dozen to maybe 2 dozen a year. Before then I didn't track what I read and would only read maybe 4 or 5 books a year, plus a few that I would leave unfinished. The last few years the number has dropped mostly due to not having "time to read". If I managed my time differently I could sneak an hour or two in a day. I don't count online "reading", that creates a whole different mess.
