Observations:

• Still bummed at how few classics I'm reading these days. In order to fix that, I'm "hosting" (there's not much to hosting... I just created a challenge page on The Storygraph!) a challenge to read SIX CLASSICS this year. The Classic Six Challenge and if you want to commit to that, you can join here.
• And wow, but the non fiction really went up this year! Go me! I feel like seeing the genres all listed out like this shows that my reading is pretty varied. I like that.
• YA Contemporary romance type books are still my favorite though.
• And look at that 7 audio books! Who knew! LOL! (It's all the driving!)
• Next year I want to do more graphic novels and maybe even some manga. I kind of love it. I guess I should do a post here with all my goals! 

KDRAMA STATS

Total Kdramas: 8

5 hearts: 6

4 hearts: 1

3 hearts: 1

I watched much less this year, and tried to watch a few American type shows. It was okay but Kdramas are still very much superior.

YOUTUBE STATS:

The Kpop Konverters

Total videos uploaded in 2023: 18 long videos, 0 shorts

Subscribers at year end: 40,262

View count at year end: 19,300,895 million

As of this moment, I plan to be done uploading to this channel. I might do one or two more favorites videos, but I will be stepping away for the most part. It's been an amazing ride and I still can't believe the things that happened thanks to the channel. It's hard to be done, but I think it's time.

Suey's Book Banter 

Total videos uploaded in 2023: 126 long videos, 43 shorts

Total Views at year end: 226,584

Total Subscribers at year end: 1,338

The booktube channel is not doing as well as I'd hoped and often I think about just dropping it and coming back to blogging. But I want to make videos. So there's the struggle.
