Well I read alot of Harlequins which are about 200 to 300 pages in PB form. I can read one of those in one sitting in about 5 hours or less. They are about 50,000 to 60,000 words. The Kitty Norville and Midnight Breed books take about 8 hours for each book for me. I don't know their word count but I do read them straight through because they are so good!

Regular Romance books are about 500 to 550 pages They take me about 16 hours to finish. I will say two days. They are around around 80,000 to 160,000 words. That doesn't count the book I read at bed time on my phone which is about 3 to 4 chapters before I go sleep each night. That one I finish more slowly.

I do not skim pages. I read every word. I have no life other then taking care of hubby so I have lots of time to read.
