Critics arent impressed with woman reading 120…
You’re damned if you do damned if you don’t.
With 2026 only a few days away, many are whipping out the Notes app on their telephones to jot down targets for the new yr — one of them could also be to read more.
As spectacular as you may assume it’s to say you’ve read a ton of books in a single yr, like this one woman who bragged about reading 120 books in 2025, some are rolling their eyes at it.
Digital marketer and ebook content creation, Armah, took to X (previously Twitter) to share a picture of herself proudly posing next to two large stacks of books alongside the caption, “I did it!! 120 books read this year.”
While some people battle to get through one, perhaps two books in a yr, many, virtually 29 million, had been shocked by this bookworm’s accomplishment.

“That’s pretty good. Any book I try to read, 3 pages in I’m sleeping,” one individual wrote under her post.
“Wow, 120 books in a year! That’s seriously impressive. Whether fiction or not, your brain must be doing some serious heavy lifting,” read another tweet.
“My dad wish this was me,” another person jokingly wrote.
However, others had been fast to side-eye this spectacular feat, particularly after studying that many of the read books had been e-books and what they referred to as “smut books,” romance novels that are rated R.
Talk about raining on one’s ebook parade.
“Most fiction is slop. Reading 100 trashy fiction books is the equivalent of watching hours of reality TV. Only truly great fiction should be considered reading,” quipped a judgmental commenter.

“I didn’t realize smut counts as books,” another chimed in.
‘There is no flex in proving you read 120 books. Congrats to that, but lets be honest, are you better than academias/students who spend more than a year reading text books, articles, journals, to become experts in their field which obviously adds value to the society? I love to read too but you gotta socialize a little bit. Don’t be this lonely, exit, watch a film with a pal or two,” an pointless remark read.
“Hood books don’t count. Where are the self development books?” another annoying commenter wrote.
It shouldn’t matter what somebody reads, as long as they’re reading one thing, particularly in this technology-obsessed period we’re dwelling in.
For those who questioned if Armah’s accomplishment was correct, she clapped back by sharing a screenshot of her Goodreads account to show the haters unsuitable.
“To those calling me a liar because they didn’t realize the rest are ebooks… screenshot from my Goodreads says hi.”
