1) How fast do you read?
2) How many books do you read in a year?
3) How many books are on your TBR pile/list?
4) Based on how many books you have to read, and how many book you read in a year, how long will it take you to get to the end of your TBR pile/list?
5) How many years have you been reading?
6) Based on how many books you read in a year and how many years you've been reading, how many books have you read in your lifetime?
7) How many hours do you spend reading in a week?
8) How many hours do you spend in book-related activities other than reading in a week? (Booktubing, bookblogging, book shopping, etc)
9) Would you like to change that ratio? (Would you rather spend more time reading and less time on book-related things?)
10) Anything else you'd like to add? And who do you want to tag?
