Welcome to Litsy!

This is my reader summary from Fable. This is the Spooky theme and according to Fable, it‘s going away at the end of the month. I enjoyed seeing this when I was finishing books this month and I hope there‘s more holiday themed ones.

Here‘s my listening recap from Audible this year. It makes sense that I‘ve listened to Sherlock Holmes more than any other book because I‘m participating in the #noplacelikeholmes readalong. I‘m enjoying my time with Holmes & Watson.

I found the email from Audible. Thanks!

Here‘s my listening stats from Audible. It doesn‘t surprise me that I‘ve spent so much time listening to Sherlock Holmes because I‘m reading the short stories for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong.

I‘m sharing my 2023 Audible Stats. Summer 2023 was when I became really interested in Greek Mythology. I still like it but I‘ve been taking a break from it for a while. There‘s still other books I want to read. I‘m hoping to catch up on my Netgalley ARCs this year so I can read my backlist. I want to read what I own.

Happy New Year! Here‘s to a great year of reading for us all! 🤩📚🎉💜

#storygraph has released the #storygraphwrapup and included shareable images to boot (I‘m pretty sure this is new as I don‘t remember a graphic like this last year). I was able to read two more graphic novels yesterday so my total went up a teensy bit. Have already set new and higher reading goals for this year, naturally 😆

My Storygraph stats are very clear again and I am loving them. 2023 has been a good reading year in which I‘ve discovered some great new to me authors whose backlists will keep me busy for some time to come. My genres haven‘t changed much (although I have read way too few classics) and I still like my books reflective, dark and emotional 😃

Here‘s my November Reading Stats from StoryGraph.

I love StoryGraph to keep track of my reading, for the reading challenges and of course for their stats. My 2022 stats really do show me who I am 😀

I did it! I set a goal of 6k pages and 200 hours of audiobooks at the beginning of the month, and I made it! I probably shouldn‘t be this excited but I am! 😁😁😁😁

These are my reading stats from Goodreads. A long time ago, I put a lot of pressure on myself to read a lot and I used to participate in readathons. I also used to participate in photo challenges on Bookstagram and make monthly TBRs. Last year, I participated in reading challenges. I still like doing monthly wrap-ups because I like seeing the books I read during the month. Mood reading is working out better for me.

The Storygraph shows some interesting about my reading during the first four months of the year. What does it say about me that I mostly read emotional, reflective, challenging and dark books?! Literary though 😉 and not necessarily my daily mood!

It‘s a fun app!

Part 1 of my stats:

I‘m so proud of hitting these reading goals!!

Definitely the #YearOfMemoirs. I‘m kind of tired of them now! But I did manage to fit in lots of other genres too.

Part 2 of my stats:

I want to flip my fiction/nonfiction percentages in 2022. Just for a change.

Also my reading definitely dropped off after I got Molly 🐶💜 in late August, so I don‘t think I‘ll hit 520 in 2022!

My 2021 stats. Very cool that #Storygraph features these. I had a good year, the stars are as expected. My preference has been shifting from classic to contemporary literature during the past years But I‘ll guess it‘ll keep changing and it‘s fun to keep track.

Reverse #Readathon final stats. To be continued with #AwesomeAugust #DeweyAug

My midyear stats on #TheStorygraph. Very different from yours, @Megabooks although we both love reflective books. Love these stats and proud of where I stand today 💪🏽😀

Here are my mid-year stats from The Storygraph!! This is already my second best year ever! I just never thought I could read this much. 🤯 #BooksForSanity #SerenityNow 😉📖 #ReadingIsTheBestMedicine! 💜

Yearly wrap up ❤️ 79 books read (I didn‘t have a goal set) total library savings: $1,181. Total money spent:$359 😅 a shocking 91% audiobooks overall (my fave format is ebook. Craziness working on the front lines may have affected this 🤔) 64% adult 35% YA. Nice to see I saved so much money on books! 😃 Here‘s to an even BETTER 2021! 🎊

📚7 more books than last year
📚WAY more library books this year! Pandemic or because I have a kindle?
📚15% print, 41% digital, 44% audio (first full year with a kindle)
📚I tracked publishers for the first time in 2020. I‘m not sure the data is interesting. Half are PRH titles. Imprint with the most books only had 4, and five had 3. I‘ll track one more year to see if the same imprints come up.
How was your reading year? Show me the numbers!

This is Danny, one of my two nephews! He has the expression I made the other day when I hit 100 books in a year for the first time since college 😁🥳! It‘s been a brutal couple years for me, but not on the reading front 😌. Here‘s some of my stats (and in the comments section too):

The main reason I do a Goodreads challenge is to get these stats at the end of the year! 😁

Thought I would join the fun of showing a few goodread stats. Had a pretty good year of reading! I keep additional stats in my bullet journal and such but it‘s fun to see what my Goodreads shows. I don‘t always keep perfect track though 🤪 my favorite stat from GR is the least popular, that‘s what I look for when you all post your stats! 😂

This is my final stats for this year!!

37 more than 2016, 3 more than 2017, 8 more than 2018 onwards and upwards and all thanks to Litsy 😘

A good month 😁😁

Lots of books read this month! 💃🏽🕺🏼

Last weekend‘s readathon made a big difference!!!!!

Yay 🎉🎉 broke the 7000 page barrier! Hardly ever happens.

While I don‘t normally post monthly stats, since I‘ve been laid up with nothing to do but read, I‘m quite proud of my March numbers...I‘m normally around 5-7 books. 🎉🎉🎉

Books read: 10
Star ratings: 5⭐️ - 3
4⭐️ - 6
3⭐️ - 1

4 Historical romance fiction, 3 Christian fiction, 1 Historical mystery fiction, 1 Teen & YA fiction, 1 Historical fiction

#BestOfMarch
March was a very good reading month, when it comes to quality. The 3 books in the picture were all 5/5 🌟 I also had several good 4 stars and two ok 3 stars. No pans or bails. Fingers crossed for continuing this trend in April.

February Favorites:

The Colors of the Rain
The Girl in the Blue Coat
The Tresspasser
Two Can Keep a Secret

I am trying this reading tracker google doc I found (maybe from bookriot?). It‘s a little tedious to fill out, but I am gonna looove having all these stats.

I try to read fairly widely, and I know my favorite genre is Fantasy, but surprisingly less than half the books I read were in that genre. I‘m also surprised by how many Memoirs I read and how few Graphic Novels I got around to reading. I didn‘t realize how few ebooks I read this year and that audiobooks would take the lead! I also know that I read a ton of Young Adult Fantasy books, but, hey, there were some Adult Fantasy books in there, too! 😄

My GR app wouldn‘t let me screen shot my 2018 stats so I took a pic the old fashioned way! 📸 It was a good year of reading for me! I surpassed my goal of 63 books; I‘m hoping to finish 71 in 2019 🤓

Some more stats. 2018 was my best reading year ever, due to Litsy, I‘m sure!

So, I had some fun making charts earlier... 😂

Top: I still read primarily fiction this year, but I also read a lot more nonfiction than in previous years (last year I didn‘t read any 😬). I‘m going to #blameitonlitsy. You guys have recommended some great nonfiction this year. Thanks for that! 😄💕

Bottom: Usually, I read about 50/50 male/female authors. This year it skews a bit more female.

Thanks for your vote of confidence Goodreads but It‘s time to call it for the year.

#readinggoals #ohwell #goodreadschallenge

My October reads. As far as reading months go it was quite mjewh.

August was a good month for me. I got through the first three of my #makemereadit books , did a buddy read of Peyton Place, read my book club book, and read a couple more! Hands down favorite was A Little Life followed by A Song of Achilles, both of which were #makemereadit books. Most disappointing was An Unwanted Guest, which was a bit too tidy.

#augustreads

Lots of great progress this month... still a bunch of would‘ve, should‘ve, could‘ve‘s that I need to get on top of next month, I‘m about 1 book behind in a bunch of my ongoing groups, carrying over Mort #PratchettPosse, Lost Stars #StarWarsBuddyRead, and Mansfield Park #JaneAustenReadAlong, and I‘m still working on my #LMPBC selection.

Just keep swimming, swimming, reading, reading 🐠📚🐠📚😂

#JulyStats
#July2018
#ReadingStats

Lots of reading this week, in part because I can‘t stop checking out library books and two of them had no renewals. Luckily, I‘ve already had some great reads this month that kept me interested!

#leio #stats

Welp, as my readcation wraps up its last day, I‘m taking note:
1 partial book finished: reread of Magpie Murders for book club on Tuesday.
2 new books read: Leah on the Offbeat and Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk.
3 new books in progress: Giant Days (vol 5) and The Magnificent Esme Wells, and Emily Wilson‘s translation of Homer‘s The Odyssey.
Also 2 books purchased. I think I‘m slaying this reading thing. 😂🙌🏼❤️📚

Okay guys here's my numbers for #MakeMeReadIt
You guys are all fantastic! We had over 70 people who decided to join us for this awesome reading challenge!!!!
😲😲😲😲😲
I love you guys all so much you guys are great!!! 🤗😘🤗😘
Thank you to everybody who participated and a big thank you to everybody who voted 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

So, here‘s how the first half of 2018 stacks up! My total hours include #audioreads; pages read does not. I set a goal of 100 books so now I‘m unofficially looking to beat last year‘s total instead!

Year to date:
#litsyclassics: 14/26
#mounttbr: 20/48
#1001books: 17
#192019challenge: 26
DNF: 3

I read 3 comics yesterday, so my page number total is a little inflated, but at least I remembered to screenshot this week!

#stats #leio

I didn‘t get a ton of reading done this week; most of my sessions were of the audio kind. The Leio app apparently had some trouble with my stats.

#leio #stats

There was an update to the Leio app which lets you set more goals. I‘m still getting used to having to find this statistics chart in a new place! End of month plus short workweek plus end of staycation has thrown me a bit, but I read an entire book yesterday to “catch up” with myself.

#leio #stats

This feels like a failure month, but I‘m nearly finished with 2 other books (an audio book and the Famous Five I‘m reading to my son), so in actual fact it‘s not been too bad. PLUS, I managed to read some poetry. I have been sadly slacking on that front!
