Observations:

Happy to report that starting The Classic Six Challenge absolutely did help me to add more classics to my line up. I will be doing it for 2026 so if you want to join in on the Storygraph page you can click here! Most of my classics would be considered science fiction. Next year I want to read more romance classics!
Loving all the memoirs I've been consuming.
I went from 7 audio books last year to 13 this year. That number really does continue to go up!
I wanted to add manga to my line up this year... I only read one I would consider manga and it was a middle grade zombie story full of potty humor. Not what I had in mind! LOL!
Not sure exactly where to put the Emma M. Lion books. I had them in romance at first but have moved them to historical fiction. What do you think?

KDRAMA STATS

I don't think I even watched a kdrama this year. What the heck is up with that? If I did I can't remember what it was. I do know I was in the middle of one that I never finished. I just put a lot more time into reading (and writing) this year.

YOUTUBE STATS:

The Kpop Konverters

Total videos uploaded in 2025: 3

Subscribers at year end: 40,662

View count at year end: 19,790,718

So I said was going to quit this channel, and I pretty much did. And yet it still grew by 400 subscribers. Twice as much as my book channel which I am pouring my heart and soul into. I also got 500,000 more views this year. All on old content. It's so not fair. I just want to SCREAM! AHHHHH!!
