Holy Crap on a Cracker!!! I read 183 books in 2023. Thanks to all my Litsy friends. I started reading 3 books at a time. An Audiobook, a Physical book, and a Kindle Book!! It was a game changer and I only did it bc most of you do it!

With this last monthly report, my total for the year was 119 books 📚 😃

This was my first year keeping track, and I have to admit, it was pretty fun 😁

King100601 I kept track too! 73 for me. 11mo

Quite happy with this stellar year! (And what did I do before the storygraph!) Nothing I‘d change, but looking ahead to 2023…I really enjoyed diving deep into Jennifer Egan, Elizabeth Strout, and Maggie O‘Farrell, and I‘d like to do that with more authors this year. (And some BIPOC and queer ones!) I‘d also like to read more genre fiction and science/nature writing in 2023. (The genres listed above are ones I read 10+ books in.)

Eyelit I just love the stats on StoryGraph! I‘m also loving the wrap up 😃 2y
Daisey Great end of year wrap up! I do love the stats and graphs on StoryGraph, but I just can‘t keep up entering my books another place. 2y
squirrelbrain Ooh, I love a good graph! (I need to keep up with StoryGraph this year). What a fab year you had! 2y

Singout OK, I have to try StoryGraph this year! 2y
Megabooks @Singout yes! It is fantastic! 2y
Singout @Megabooks Signed up, so far so good except the audiobook option only works for some books 😢 2y
Megabooks @Singout I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and it‘s easy to add them. When you go to a book page, click on editions (middle of page right) then in the top right corner there‘s an “add edition” button and use that to add the audiobook edition. I do this quite often because I listen to a lot of new releases. You can find the information they ask for on your audiobook provider‘s page or just add what you know and others can fill in more later. 👍🏻 2y
Singout Done! Thank you! 2y
Amiable I love Storygraph! It appeals to my inner statistics nerd. 11mo

2022 #wrapup

Happy New Year!!🎆 It‘s after midnight here.

This was just not my year for challenges, except for total books read, which I increased over the year. I‘m okay with that.

I‘m wishing all of you a wonderful 2023 full of contentment, good health, and prosperity. 💗

Not bad - but way short of my goal of 90! Since life has gotten busier from the COVID years less time to read so think I will make next years goal 75. This was the first time since 2015 I didn‘t meet my goal 😞
But onward to 2023 and lots more books and maybe sticking with all my challenges I signed up for and not dropping out by March lol!

Kaylamburson Same with me! First year since 2014 I haven‘t met my goal, but trying to remember that reading is just about the enjoyment and not about accomplishing an arbitrary goal. 71 is still a TON of books! 2y

Well, I exceeded my goal of 85 books by 11. Next year I am aiming for 100. Don't really care if I hit it or not, I just like seeing how many I read a year.

AmyG I have always wanted to read 100 books in a year. I once got to 99. I may just put 100 as my goodreads goal and hope for the best. Good luck. 2y

My Year in Books 📚📚📚

90 Books [📚26,338 pages & 🎧177 Audio Hours] btw I love how you can track pages and hours separately on StoryGraph.

My original goal was 50 books, then I updated it to 72 when I started listening to more audiobooks... And I've surprised myself by finishing 18 more.

All-in-all a brilliant reading year. 🎉

2021 was a difficult one ...
Work was crazy and some months I got very little reading time. Nevertheless I still managed to read 80 books surpassing my goal of 50

I'm hoping 2022 will allow me more time to read, but I'm again setting my goal for 50 books
I always feel better surpassing it than not reaching it.

Vansa Wow, how did you get the graphics for each month? 3y
Enchanted_Bibliophile @Vansa I use an app called Read More - that gives the summary of books I've read. And then i just make my own little collage each month and at year en I do this collage with ever months collage 3y
Vansa That's lovely! Loads of effort but super nice output! 3y

Here are my best #12Booksof2021 but they are not by month. The first 12 books were my favorites but I read 133 books so included other books that I really loved this year. But those books that were part of a duology or series, I counted them as one😜 I can say that it was a good reading year, I enjoyed most of the books I read📚📚📚🤗

Yay for me! I exceeded my goal of 40 books for 2021, though not surprising since… you know… Covid and all…. Edit: my daughters guilted me into reading 1 more so I‘d have 52, 1 book read for each week… so I spent the day reading… now I‘m at 52 🙄🤩😵‍💫

My 2019 year in books!

Overall I had a pretty good reading year filled with plenty of wonderful books! My longest book is a little skewed since Winter Nights was a 10 ebook boxed set. I think my actual longest was probably The Priory of the Orange Tree at 827 pages.

Looking forward to a new year of new reads! Happy New Year to all my lovely Litsy friends! 🎉🎆✨ Wishing you all a year filled with joy, great books, and a little magic! ✨📚😘

I also wanted to share this because this makes me super proud of myself! I more than doubled my goal for myself! I am super excited for 2020 and all the wonderful books waiting for me to read them. I am working on setting my goals for next year and have already signed up for a few challenges to kick off the year!! I want to thank all of you for suggesting so many wonderful books, and making my TBR list so much longer!!

This my rather ambitious stack of books I am hoping to read before 2020. I started the top one yesterday. The second one down is for book club in January. THE NAMESAKE and SING UNBURIED SING are for the Reading Women advances prompts. And Habibi is a graphic novel I‘ve been lusting for since 2015 and just got for Christmas. Getting some breakfast with the hubs and then diving in. Wish me luck! #wintergames #teamfozziwig

ljuliel I hope you like Arthur Truluv as much as I did. So good. 5y
Hestapleton @ljuliel I‘ve heard lots of good things so I‘m really excited for it! 5y

My original goal at the beginning of the year was 52...I know being a part of Litsy is a HUGE reason why I more than doubled my goal!! Now to decide what my 2019 goal will be...😁📚

In September it felt like I wouldn't complete any of my reading goals for 2017. I don't know what I did to kick things into gear but something worked. I surpassed my #Goodreads goal, & completed #2017ReadHarderChallenge , #2017LitsyAtoZ , #2017LRC + a few others that I could knock out with crossovers from these 4. Color me shocked!!

81 books read; 50 books was my goal. This is also the most books I've read in a year since I started counting (or goodreads started counting for me.)

Without this community of serious readers I would never have signed up for 3 reading challenges and finished them all! I'll always mark 2017 as the year I started paying better attention to what I was reading and hopefully making better reading choices.

Thank you, Littens!! 😊💜

I scrolled back for a ridiculous number of minutes to find my 2017 reading resolutions (if there is a quicker way to go back to your own posts, I sure don‘t know it 😳), and it looks like a mixed bag for me.

I read 13 of the BBC 100 books this year, will end up with 6 challenges finished, continued/finished 6 series, started, finished, and loved The Dark Tower. But...

I wrote 0 GR reviews 🤷🏻‍♀️

Used the library, but I bought sooooo many. 😳

It is the end of the year, and I do not believe I will finish any more books today. I have participated in some challenges and experienced success with some and fallen short in others. I enjoy the challenges and my #24HRR group, as they enable me to step out of my comfort zone in my reading. I wish everyone in the world of Litsy happy reading in the new year.
