I have been nerding out over my own reading data for a while, here's last year: http://www.talkapedia.com/2022/01/2021-reading-tally.html
In 2022, I kinda blew the prior years to smithereens. Also, huge hat tip to Storygraph which tracks so many of the things I used to track through tags and tallies.
I also read a lot of short and shorter fiction, which helped.
Read 304. I know. 118 were under 300 pages, a combo of shorter novels, novelettes, novellas, and graphic novels.
I DNF'd 15.
I DNF'd 15.
Top category - Romance 138
Contemporary was next at 110.
Contemporary was next at 110.
Most read author was Martha Wells, then a four way split between Jessie Mihalik, Lauren Dane, and C. L. Polk. (Amusingly only one of those authors writes contemporary.
March and April were the highest read months with 36.
I read 197 different authors
125 new to me authors. I wanted to note, while I like to read new to me authors, new to me does not mean new per se. Also, when you read a lot, you need lots of authors to turn to, because some of my faves only released one thing last year. (Which hey, not a complaint, just an observation.)
88 of these were part of a series.
39 were audio. A combination of pandemic plus day job meant I had to rethink how to get audio working for me. But yay, it's a great way to consume stories.
