I love data. I've been doing the reading tally for a bit. Here's last years, which links to the prior year's and so on.
Last year I had a really good reading year and in some way's such a crazy number made this year kind of a relief. It would be so much work to meet last year's and honestly, I didn't even want to. I didn't want to set a new personal record, I wanted to let that one stand and think, yeah, that one time I did that. I also wanted to try to make more time for things like TV that had been sorely neglected. I did a little of that.
Anyway, the data.
Read: 224
DNF'd: 22
211 authors, 116 of them were new to me.
The oldest title was from 2007. Though I did read a graphic novel of A Wrinkle in Time, and the original IP on that is older than that. (4 of the titles were from 2024.
Most read author was Jill Shalvis, though Sandra Brown and Charish Reid were both not too far behind.
Highest reading month was May with 29.
36 were audiobooks. 158 were library books, because libraries are awesome. 14 were from Kobo Plus.
It was a good year of reading. Hoping to maybe get more audiobooks this year.
