Observations:
- My reading numbers were quite a bit better than last year. I reached my Goodreads goal of 40. For next year I have upped it again to 50.
- I still mourn the passing of classics from my reading.
- Also fantasy. But I did manage a bit of that again this year!
- I was happy to read an ARC again! That was like a blast from the past...
- I think I gave my first 1 star review. Y'all should be proud.
- I feel like I read more on the Kindle, but that's how the numbers shook out! Maybe I can do better and make better use of that device this next year.
- I love reading for award long lists! I read some awesome MGs this year because of that.
- Happy that Utah authors make a pretty good appearance on my list.
- I have lots of things I want to read, so I will not be dropping the habit anytime soon.

Observations:
- It's very fun to see the growth of the channel by comparing these numbers. I'm worried about what will happen this year. Here's hoping we don't see a huge drop in the numbers by this time next year!
- Good thing we have that one popular video that is about to 2 million views! This is what is sustaining our channel right now! If only we could think up another video that would be so popular!
No classics? they can be tough. I think I only read one this whole year. Which book got your one-star review? I don't dish those out as often anymore because I'm more likely to just abandon a book if it's that bad (or not a good fit for me). My balance of library/owned reading is about the same as yours! And you have allllmost convinced me to try watching a Kdrama- but I think my husband will be skeptical at first. Of possibility he might enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI gave a one start to A Totally Awkward Love Story. It was not good.
DeleteGood job! I thought you read all the book club books. Ha! I don't even know how many I read, but it probably similar to your number.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that number was so low too! I didn't do any re-reads for book club. And then I think I missed a couple others, like And Then There Were None! :)
