Here’s what I read last year. Clearly I either need to write reviews faster or revise my expectations!

Most of my reading is still in print, though audio makes up a good chunk. I really only do CD books when I can’t get an eaudio now, though. “Graphic” here means graphic novel – more because I don’t want to put it as a genre than because it really is a different format.

Why yes, I am a library reader. I am so grateful for librarians who will buy me the books I want!

Even though I read with my kids every day, I still read faster to myself.

I am a fantasy reader! Being on the Cybils Spec Fic committee again this year pushed my fantasy percentage up to its normal range again, after last year’s higher percentage of realistic.

I think I was feeling like I needed to catch up with some middle grade books. The last few years, my reading was only about half middle grade.

And the moment of truth… am I succeeding in my goal of increasing the diversity of my authors? It’s about the same as last year, but better than it was in years before that.

Ouch! I didn’t even read enough Australian authors for it to show up as a significant section on my graph.

This is pretty typical for my reading.

The characters are more diverse than the authors, even as I’ve made more of an effort to find #OwnVoices authors.

I kept an eye out for diversity not related to ethnicity or skin color, too, and got this. This is an area where I seem to need help finding more good books to read!
