I read a fair bit, but I will admit straight up I haven't read much in recent months at all.

Back when I spent 2+ hours a day on buses and subways I used to go through 3-5 books a week.  But now I have no commute and end up using that time for other things. 

I should say that I went from living in a major city with a huge library system to a much smaller one, and that makes a difference too.  I only buy books if they're by a favourite author or about a favouite topic, but back when I had access to a better library it was easy to just put every recommendation for a friend or everything that was well-reviewed on hold.

I rarely read anymore.  I've read every book that I have (Jane Eyre, Beastly etc. etc) so reading them again is kind of boring.

i think audio books should definitely count, since they take just as long to enjoy (sometimes longer).
you still get the story, but can work with your hands while you do it.
(i listen to 4-6 audio books a week, but only have time to read one or two)
