I’m jetting off on holiday for fourteen days to Singapore and Phuket in Thailand. During my holiday I intend to spend at least some of my time catching up on my reading.
I have my e-reader loaded up with dozens and dozens of books. Definitely more than I can read in this time. I thought I could make a fun contest out of this. Guess how many books I read during my holiday and go into a draw to win one of my print books. I also have a few other things I’ll slip into the package such as pens and post-it notes.
Clues:
I’m a fast reader.
I’ve read 158 books during the year to date.
The books vary in length and genre.
I intend to read short stories, novellas and long novels.
I intend to spend time swimming, shopping and sightseeing so deduct reading time from this.
Put your best guess in the comments section of this post. Both readers and authors are eligible to enter. Only one guess per person. In the event of more than one person guessing the correct number I’ll do a random drawing. The winner will be notified shortly after my return home.
How many books will I read during my fourteen-day holiday?
My guess is 5. Hope you have a lovely holiday.
Have fun on your holiday, Shelley.
I’ll guess you’ll read 8 books on your holiday.
I think you will read 6 books. Have a great time, what a great place to get to visit!

Have a wonderful vacation! My guess is 18 books, a little more than one book per day, if some of them are very short…
My guess is 9 books. Have a great time.
I’m going with my lucky number and say 8. Have a good trip.
I’m guessing 20 with various lengths this could possible for me without a problem.
My guess is 32 books!
I say you will read 11 books
I’m going to guess 13. Hope you have a great trip!
I’m guessing you will read 14 books.
My guess is 16 books.
7 books – have a great trip!!!!
Shelley hope you have a wonderful time. I am guessing that you will read 10 books on your vacation — don’t want to guess too many more as I would hate to have you miss your vacation actually reading all the time!! LOL

Have a fantastic time…you lucky bum.
Hi Shelley!
What a awesome trip, hope you have a fabulous time!
My guess is you will read 16 books.
I read a lot of ebooks which are shorter in length rather than full blown novels but if you read anything like me, I’ll guess 20. More than one a day but with all the sites to see, not two a day.
Have a great time on your vacation. See the sites and don’t read too much.
Have a wonderful trip.
My guess is 35 books.
well, you read about 20 per month and you are going for 1/2 a month so I would say 10, but most ebooks are shorter than print ones so I will have to up my count and say 15.
My guess would be seven books. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Have a great time.
Sounds like a great time. Just watched a show about Thailand on the Travel Channel! Beautiful culture over there!
My guess is, you will read 17 books!
Have a great time and be safe!

I’ll guess 18 books. Have a great holiday!
If you count reading on the plane, you should be able to read at least 27. I love to be able to read w/o guilt when I go on vacation!! None as exotic as yours, but you work hard enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! LOL
I’d say 11 books if the short stories are part of a collection and only count as one. If they’re individual I’d go up to 22. Have a fabulous time my friend!
Hugs!
8 days and counting!
Having read 199 books myself so far this year I guess you are almost as prolific a reader as I am.
That being the case I am guessing you will read as many as I would on a 14 day holiday. That makes roughly 40 books of different lengths. After all you’ve got all those long days on the beach when not swimming to fill ;)
Enjoy your holiday and don’t get sunburnt if you can help it (My aunt, who is from Singapore, tells me the sun can be very harsh there).
Have a fabulous time. I am going to guess 30 books.
Counting reading time on the plane, I’m thinking around 14. Have fun!!!
Well, I’m a big reader also, but I’m still going to say 7! that was my first thought and I’m sticking to it!! After all, you do have other stuff to do besides read!! Have a great holiday – be safe.

Ok, I’m guessing 20 books! I think you will be spending a lot of time in the air, if you don’t sleep when you fly, then I know you’ll be reading. With the different sizes of the books, I am guessing you will read more than I would. I would spend so much time sightseeing I would not be able to read as much during the time I would be there.
Have a wonderful time!
I’d guess about 10. I think that would be about the number I’d manage, although I’m limited by not using an E-book reader.
44 books with all the plane travel
I’m going with 8 books.
Have a great time, Shelley! Here’s my guess: 23 books.

What a wonderful trip to take, wish I was going with you. Take lots of pictures to share with us. My guess is 28.
Hope you have a wonderful time on your holiday. My guess is you will read eleven(11) books.
Have a wonderful trip and try to read 14 books while on vacation.
I’m guessing you’ll read 9 books.
