2011 Reading Recap
Jan. 5th, 2012 12:41 pmTotal number of books read: 99 (Argh! If I'd been counting, I could have polished one off just to get to a nice round 100. I know I read a few Mo Willems books last year and I didn't count those because I skim right through them and don't review them... if only I had!)
I didn't keep track of number of pages this year. I always fall short on those goals and that's depressing.
Format:
Audio(earread): 50
Paper: 49
This surprised me! I thought it would be more like 80% audio and 20% paper! Still no digital. I haven't made that leap yet, even though I have an iPad2 from work.
Types/Genres:
Young Adult/Teen: 43
Graphic Novel/Manga: 16
Fiction (General): 14
Picture Book: 12
Nonfiction/Biographies: 7
TV Tie-in: 4
Romance/Erotica: 2
Mystery: 1
Not surprising that YA has an overwhelming presence. I've definitely been on a YA kick lately. And the YA/Teen category above includes JFIC (Juvie Fiction). I never used to read a lot of nonfiction or biographies, but I'm glad a few more than usual made it in my rotation this year. I like 'em, but I wouldn't make an effort to read more of them.
Books read because of a book group: 5
Yay! I've actually been working my way through some of the "might be selected some other time" books as well. So technically this number should be higher, but I'm just counting books I read specifically because they were the book chosen that month or they were sequels to one previously chosen (so I wouldn't have read it otherwise).
Acquired from:
Library: 23
Audio from Library: 32
BookCrossing: 17 (and 4 duplicates of audios counted under Audio from Library below)
Audio Download from Library: 10
Used book purchase/Book Thing: 10
Borrowed from co-worker: 4
Got free from work: 2
New purchase: 2 (and 4 I bought after reading a library copy)
Yay for me using my library often! I'm starting to get addicted to using OverDrive and downloading audio books from the library. Also, I did manage to clear some BookCrossing books off my TBR shelves, as well as get some other books off.
