Olga
is there a word for "non-stop reading" like "binge-watching"? What's it called when you're reading books or articles one by one without stopping? a verb, or maybe an adverb or an idiom?

Hi Olga, You can use the verb "devoured". It means to eat greedily as though you are very hungry. In your context, you can use "devoured" as a metaphor to mean that you are reading your books as though they are your sustenance and your survival depends on it. Example:Tom finished devouring two books in an hour! Reference URL: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/devour (There is a section that describes "devouring books". Alternatively, you can also say that someone is "engrossed" (participial adjective) in reading, or simply being a "bookworm" (noun). Example: Tom is engrossed in the article and kept reading.

I don't see any reason you can't say 'binge reading'. It's not that common, but I'm sure I have heard it before, and it would be perfectly clear. That is the point of communication - using phrases that are clear and unambiguous. As long as that is the case, go ahead and use it.

Hello Olga, Most of the previous answers I think will be useful to you. However, another useful phrase is "avid reader". The word "avid" means "having or showing a keen interest in or enthusiasm for something." We often use the phase "avid reader" to describe someone who very much loves reading and does it a lot. For example, "Mary is an avid reader and usually reads several books a month." "Steven is an avid reader, and is very knowledgeable on most topics that interest him."

Hello, Olga. You can say that you have been "binging on books" or "binging on reading". This would mean that you have been reading books excessively or without stopping. I enjoy reading and binge on books quite frequently. It's a favorite past-time of mine.

I think you can you binge for reading too. If you want to use non-stop then I would say "I've been reading no-stop for the past x weeks/months."
