You’re putting pretty good numbers on the board already. Also depending on what you’re reading, it might be excellent. Some books I rip through, others take me months.
Setting aside chill vacation times when I tend to get a lot of reading done, I’d say the two things that keep me moving through books are: I basically need it as a sleep aid so I almost always read before bed; sometimes I make it 5 mins, sometimes it’s hours, and slowly teaching myself that it’s ok to read multiple books at once, or to put a book not really vibing with down and maybe come back to it later.
If you’re really interested in increasing, you could try to make it a long habit, like read 15-20 mins at lunch or another time/task where appropriate.
