I really enjoyed collecting my reading stats! I guess not only am I a book nerd, I’m a data nerd too!
Reading Stats!
Books Read: 65
Not so bad considering how much time I allocated to writing my manuscript this year.
Genre I read the most: SCIENCE FICTION won it this year!
This was a surprise! Usually fantasy wins out! My favourite SciFi this year was Hail Mary, by Andy Weir.
Most read in a month: February with 8 books!
Number of Library Books: A whopping 33 library books, both paper and audio, made it into my ‘Finished’ pile. It’s important to support your local library!!
50% were library books!
Other standouts?
Best romance: The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen.
Best vacay read: Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa
Most shocking read: The Parade by Dave Eggers
Best cosy: The Housekeeper and the Professor by Ogawa
Looking ahead to 2025
Will I read more, or less? Will SciFi reign supreme in 2025? Will I clear my TBR or will I keep adding to it, swayed by the pretty covers on the new release table at the bookshop? (OK that one is a given, fine.)
What I do hope is that I keep some even more detailed stats on my reading habits in 2025, because it’s been a great exercise to look back over the year and see which worlds I’ve been in!
What were your favourite reads of 2024? Drop them in a comment below – the TBR has grown sentient and she’s hungry!
