I logged 254 books this year, finished 244, reviewed 81, and rated 58 9 or above. I was up a little from last year both in books read and reviewed, even if I still can’t write reviews as fast as I read the books.

No real surprises here. Even though we’ve been listening to Lord of the Rings on cd, it’s so long that it’s not affecting the numbers here that go by titles, not hours.

I’m still mostly a library reader.

Fantasy is my genre… with Realistic Fiction just edging out Sci-Fi for second highest percentage.

Still reading mostly middle grade… but with a noticeable decrease in teen books from last year.

I came super close to my goal of having 25% of my reading be authors of color! Even if it still seems crazy that it’s a challenge to do even that.

I really don’t feel pressure to read more men.

I could work on reading more authors from other countries. But how cool is it that Google will make me a map like this??

This is noticeably more diverse than last year’s reading! Note that my “mixed” tag includes both multiracial characters and stories where the POV alternates between characters of different ethnicity.

This is trying to track other diversity, which started as looking for LGBTQ characters and has expanded somewhat. N/A is a large percentage partly because I read so much middle grade, where there’s often not even a crush to give a hint as to preference. Hopefully as more middle grade LGBTQ literature is published, I can improve my numbers here!  I was so amused that ghosts and AIs made up a significant proportion of my stats this year!
