HOW MANY BOOKS would you read in a year?

In 2015, a US study found that the average was one a month; in a 2019 study, the same researchers found that 27% of US adults hadn’t read a book in the past year.

In 2019, data group Kantar reported that the average shopper bought 9 books, compared with 8 the year before.
