End of the Year

Well, now I know how many books I read in a year. Not sure if this was typical or not.
281 in total.

199 fiction
59 non-fiction (the unaccounted were just a matter of sloppy tagging)

Of this, there were:
43 romance (what to cut down on in the year ahead!)
39 young adult
34 graphic novels
32 middle grade
29 mystery
18 memoir
7 chapter books
6 biographies

No real surprises - the easiest reads were most read. It averages 77% of a book per day (which is a bit alarming). If you assume that a book a day is the usual speed, then 84 days (nearly 3 months!) passed without any reading. August was the big reading month, followed closely by January and September.

I've read other blogs where the goal of reading a book a month isn't met. Next year I'll try to restrain myself so I can spend more time writing. Some number between 12 and 280....the average would be 146 books. I think I'll aim even lower, let's say an even hundred.

On the list:
In the Land of Painted Caves
A History of the World in 100 Objects
for starters...
