TFIOS Sighting!
Jan. 6th, 2013 12:47 amI saw my first copy of The Fault in Our Stars at the library today. It came in via the morning bookdrop, which I check in. It happened to be an autographed copy, signed in green and hanklarfished!

2012 Reading Recap
Jan. 6th, 2013 04:39 pmTotal number of books read: 66 (down 33 from last year)
Format:
Audio(earread): 37
Paper: 29
I'm surprised there were so many paper books! I think getting allergy shots all year (requiring sitting around for 20 minutes every week) has increased my paper book count. But I'm such a slow reader, thus one possible reason my count dropped.
Types/Genres:
Young Adult/Teen: 30
Graphic Novel/Manga: 7
Fiction (General): 6
Nonfiction/Biography: 6
TV Tie-in: 6
Picture Book: 5
Sci-Fi/Fantasy: 2
Instructional: 2
Poetry: 1
Romance/Erotica: 1
Not surprising that YA/Teen is so high. I adore YA and I joined a YA swap-bot community, so I'm getting even more recommendations than I need right now. heehee Also, once I start a series, I like to finish it.
Books read because of a book group: 1
The YA BC book club I loved stopped getting used, unfortunately. So this one was the last one I read for it.
Acquired from:
Audio from Library: 21
BookCrossing: 13
Audio Downloaded from Library: 10
Library: 9
Use book purchase/Book Thing: 8
New purchase: 5
As usual, audio from the library is the biggest source, but I'm happy to see that BookCrossing is number 2 here. And book purchases for first time reads are up 3 from last year. Though, I did buy, like, 4 copies of The Fault in Our Stars so really the count of new books bought & read should be 8 ;-) And the total number of books I can thank my local library for is 40 out of 66! That's great. Yay library!

I really enjoyed doing this summary again. And it gave me an excuse to get those last few book reviews done for 2012!
