I read approximately 25,000 words/hour. 7 short novels in one day is certainly possible for me. YA books are often 10,000-40,000 words; the slim Harlequin romances are about 30-40k words.
As a teenager, I would get to school, go to the library, check out a book, return it at lunch & get a different book, return it at the end of the day & get 2 or 3 to take home; repeat, with extras on the weekends.
