It's time to look back on the previous year and see what kind of bookish shenanigans I've been up to! I'll be using stats from myyearinbooks.com and Goodreads.
I won't be using all the info I got from there because it's not that interesting and I'm too lazy to make a cute graph for it 😅 Unlike my friend Liliana who created a GORGEOUS set of graphs of all kinds to showcase her yearly stats, which you can see HERE 👀
So back to the beginning...
The average rating I gave was 3.8 which is not that bad! I think it was a bit higher in 2023 and I'll definitely make it a goal this year to sever ties with books that don't interest me far earlier so I can start reading books that I'll like more 😂
The average book length is totally accurate and it's almost always the same. I rarely read books longer than 450 pages, and there weren't that many novellas last year.
Shortest book was a short story by Mira Grant (I recommend it!!!) and longest Winter. Omgosh I always forget it has more than 800 pages.
It doesn't feel that long because it's simply amazing ❤️
Next up we have some numbers. I finished the 100th book on the 31st of December 😂 Apparently, I also read about 14,000 pages more than in 2023!
Of course, no one is surprised by these stats 😅 Although I was a bit confused by the "romance" being so high up, I thought it would be a tie between mystery and fantasy 😂
I didn't even realize that I started and finished 2024 with Jennifer Anne Davis 😂 First I read her Reign of Secrets series and fell in love with it, then in December I read League of Rulers, which was..well...meh 😅
Yesss, I'm loving this description! 😂 I truly love a good plot twist, in all genres, not just mystery novels. Some people focus on characters and while I love a good, layered character, if the story isn't equally exciting, I probably won't enjoy it as much.
Besides this post, I'll also be doing at least one of those "end-of-year" book tags soon 😄
How was your reading year? I'd love to see your stats!
