Not too bad for fitting books in between grad school. (I admittedly relied heavily on audiobooks while cleaning, working out, running errands, meal prepping, everything…) Here‘s to a better year, in every way!! Happy New Year Litsy Fam!!!

My total for the year is 180, the most I‘ve read since I was in school for my MLIS. 2020 was great for something at least — my reading life! ♥️📚

What a whopper of a year. I don‘t think I would have hit anything near this number without audio books. I‘ve been struggling to focus on physical books these past months!

A rewarding year although my average rating isn‘t even four stars. I feel like I‘ve read some really great books and more than I ever would have thought possible. On to 2020!

batsy What a great year. Here's to more fantastic reads in 2020! 5y
Amiable My average rating is 3.3 I am a tough grader--rarely give out 5 stars unless it's really warranted, IMO. But 3 stars means I liked a book and I would say it's worth picking up if others are interested. That's not bad, I don't think! 5y
TrishB Great stats 👍🏻 5y

I am only 5 away from my 2018 Reading Challenge of 75 books.

I am so close but I know I can read 5 books in 21 days.

It feels good to reach a reading goal. Even if I don't get 5 more, I'm pretty proud of myself for the 70 I have gotten to read with how busy my life is. I have read some pretty incredible books this year.

Has anyone else reached their #Goodreads2018ReadingChallenge , almost reached it, or even passed it?

That-Bookish-Hiker Congrats! I‘m 13 away from reaching my goal. Hopefully I can reach it by year end. 6y
InBooksILive @That-Bookish-Hiker thank you! I'm sure you'll get it! 😊 I wish I could read 13 in 21 days haha I'm worrying over just 5! 6y

First in a series about American-born Chinese Anna who loves reading so much. The author wrote20+ books that are intergenerational as well as intercultural. So I googled her and she died 3 years ago at the age of 57! 😕

Smartypants @Andrew65 I made my 2018 Goodreads challenge for 100 books—I can double what I did with some focus. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great job! And a fabulous reading year! 7y
Andrew65 Best of luck @Smartypants , I will watch your progress in 2018 with interest. I know I will read less books in 2018 as I am aiming to read a lot of BIG books so will most probably shoot for around 150. (edited) 7y
Andrew65 Already changed my mind @Smartypants make that 160! 7y

Not bad, although I'm wondering why they send us these when there are still 2 reading weeks left in the year! 🤔BTW I believe IT is the longest book I've ever read, period, not just this year. I read a lot of Sweet Valley books earlier in the year. I technically beat my goal of 165 in July but if I hadn't gotten pregnant I probably would have been able to break 300. 😦Oh well! Still very happy with the outcome. #2017review #goodreads 🤓📚🤓

#Goodreads year in review. It has been a good year, but not as much leisure reading because of school. My number is only so high because I review a lot of the picture books I read. 😂 Although Cinnamon is a lot longer than 3 pages

Clwojick I definitely thought cinnamon was longer too. 😂 7y

Hoping to add 4 more books by the end of the month. I‘m annoyed that my longest book is inaccurate, the 1137 actually represents the whole LOTR trilogy. But please enjoy the gratuitous picture of Viggo as Aragorn 😂

A sweet #middlegrade story of friendships, growing pains, fitting in and forgiveness. This is the first book in the series. Anna is an ABC - American Born Chinese. She's trying to figure out where and how she fits in, especially when her best friend starts spending time with some girls who aren't so nice to Anna.

#booksaboutbooks, the middle grade fiction edition.

Two from my shelf, still unread. Both look fun and bookish. Book Scavenger is more adventure/mystery and involves lots of book puzzles and clues. The Year of the Book looks more realistic about a girl who wants to make friends but struggles, and in the meantime, find companionship in books.

Onceuponatime The Year of the Book is sweet, and the Book Scavenger is a fun story too! Both enjoyable 👍🏼 8y

A Chinese-American girl read-walks through 4th grade, struggles with introversion and making a new friend, who is having her own family issues. A sweet little book that captures the troubles of a 4th grade girl pretty well. Plus, there are references to the books she reads through the year. I loved it most because she was me at that age-she'd always rather stay at home and read her library book than go to a friend's house to play. Me all over.

For my post-Midwinter reading this year, I'm going back to some middle-grade classics that I often recommend but haven't actually read.

I am VERY into the idea of a bathtub full of pillows for leisure reading. Good classroom idea, Mr. Schmitz!

bates_barb My elementary school library had two old-style clawfoot bathtubs full of cushions for kids to read in. It was heaven. 8y
brownekr @bates_barb That sounds AMAZING. 8y
bates_barb It was. No surprise I spent every possible moment of the 3 years I was in that school in the library. It's been more than 25 years since I was there, but it's still high on my list of happy places I go to in my mind. 8y
meichner87 I am also very into this idea! 8y

I don't think I will be able to finish another book before the end of the year, so here is my end-of-year total. Thanks to the inspiration of my fellow Littens, I was able to read 66 books. That was great, because my goal was 53. I am pretty excited and am looking forward to being even better in 2017 😊🎉

LindsayReads @Suet624 @DeborahSmall Don't be fooled. I log single issue comics. 😉 8y
LindsayReads @britt_brooke Holy mackerel! I'm impressed you caught that. I've found the GR app...insufficient...and try to log books on my laptop as much as possible. Maybe that was the case for your Case of the Missing Books? 🤔🔍 8y
DeborahSmall @britt_brooke @LindsayReads how do you generate this stat? I can see I've logged 72 books on my 'reading challenge' but can't see a prompt for this... 8y
britt_brooke @LindsayReads The only reason I caught it is because I keep a running list in my iPhone notes. 😁 I like goodreads but my year count is always off. I'm sure it's operator error, but I always keep my backup list. 8y
LindsayReads @DeborahSmall Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but you should (or will) get an email if you're signed up for those, or it should be at the top of your GR home page. 8y
LindsayReads @britt_brooke Good thinking!!🖒🖒 I always try to make sure I've marked the day completed on GR...which is surprisingly difficult to do through the app. 8y
DeborahSmall @LindsayReads Thanks I'll check my emails. I'm using the app on my phone and can't see anything on homepage 8y
LindsayReads @DeborahSmall Ah yeah, just checked the app and don't see anything about it. That app, I swear! You'll see it on a regular computer or following the link if you get the email... Good luck! 8y
Eyelit Awesome! 8y
britt_brooke @DeborahSmall I actually saw the link for the stats when Goodreads posted about it on facebook. 8y
DeborahSmall @britt_brooke after all that I had got an email at 3.30 with a link to my personal 'year in books' great idea, I don't remember this last year x 8y
