I had meant to do a stats post, then I thought nope, then I decided to do one again :)
I read 132 books this year.
- 97 audiobooks (so close!!!!)
- 35 print/ebooks (so much fewer this year)
(3 ebooks, ahem)
Sadly fewer 4s and 5s this year than other years. But I am tough, so very tough
I DNF a few books
A psalm for the well built by Becky Chambers
-Dull
Daughters of the New year by Em Tram
-Tried getting into it twice, I just can not

-It felt like it was kingdom built of teens, only teens in high positions. They might have been old, they felt like 15 year olds, No thanks

As for 2023. I already finished my first Duke book, it is a must as you know. And since I have no review books lined up (Harper Collins Union is on strike, support them!.) I started re-listening to Written in red by Anne Bishop. Might be a year of Bishop instead of my beloved dragons
LOL! You love those re-reads. Nice job in 2022. Here's to a book-filled year ahead.
ReplyDeleteI do love them :D
DeleteAwww! I've thought about re-read Written in Blood too! Too funny
ReplyDeleteOmg it is so amazing
DeleteVaov! You are amazing. I could only read 40 books. :))
ReplyDeleteThank you :D 40 is amazing too
DeleteI just did a wrap up and was surprised I read 38 books. More than I thought since I pretty much haven't read anything in a few months.
ReplyDeleteYou did great though!
That is good! Better than 1 :D
DeleteYou had a great reading year! I haven't read any of the books you dnfed this year.
ReplyDeleteThey were nothing to cheer about
DeleteNice total reading for the year. So close on the audios hitting 100. I need to be more like you in DNFing sooner if I'm not into a book.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, 2023 will give you an uptick in 4-5's and one can never go wrong rereading Anne Bishop books.
I know right! I am devastated
DeleteDnfing is an art, it took a long time to do it
14 DNFs are an acceptable loss, all things considered, on a total of 132 books!
ReplyDeleteRight, not too bad
DeleteI had a few DNFs as well. It happens. Life is too short to waste it on a book you're not enjoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking one of my books is from Harper Collings (The Backup Plan) but they rarely approve me so I don't think I have any more.
Exactly. No time to read crap when good books take time now
DeleteLooks like audio is taking over your reading too! So close to 100!
ReplyDeleteSo freaking close
DeleteGreat year, 132 books is awesome. I was curious about Unsettled Ground. Too weird?
ReplyDeleteWeird, and dull
