My #2019wrapup video is up! In which I demonstrate why I could never be a niche book reviewer. 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M-_KrgncZs

1001: Books You Must Read Before You Die: You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

Finally, as part of my year end wrap up, here are the 30 books I read from the #1001books list in 2019. It‘s not quite as many as I was hoping for, but I did manage to read my #Reading1001 #TBRTakedown book every month, a few of the books of the month for that group, a few with Litsy readalongs, and a few random choices.

Scochrane26 I would try some of the list or other lists, but there‘s just some books I‘m never going to be willing to read. It‘s a great goal though, & I have worked on more classics. 5y

Daisey @Scochrane26 Thanks, and I completely understand. I will never get through all of these, and there are some I have no desire to read. I like that it gives me a wide variety of books to read and an interesting group of people with whom to discuss those books. 5y

CafeMom Great graphic. I wish I could do that. 5y

Daisey @CafeMom This is actually just a screenshot of my bookshelf on Goodreads in cover grid format on a square background. I lucked out that I read 30 books and it came out in even rows. 5y

A Year in Books: 52 Weeks : 52 Books | Lyall F. Harris

Here are some more reading stats from my spreadsheet for 2019. Audiobooks counted for just under half of my books this year, and I used the library for almost 60% of my reading. The bar graph shows my book sources with purple for library, light blue for owned or free, and dark blue for borrowed from friends.

5 of 5: BOOKS BY PUBLICATION
So this spread remains largely consistent year-to-year. I do love reading new releases. But I would like to improve that pre-2000 number this year.

How was your reading year?

twohectobooks Love all of your stats! As a spreadsheet lover I‘ve been tracking more and more things like this as the years go by, I think publication year is something I‘m going to add in to my tracking as well. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Averaging about 9-10% a year is great... it adds up over time, so I think you‘re doing great! 5y

thebluestocking @twohectobooks Thank you!! I‘d love to hear about the categories you track. I‘ve only tracked publication date for the last three years, but I think it‘s an interesting one to see. 💙 5y

thebluestocking @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you for that perspective! You‘re right that all of it adds up over time. 💙 5y

4 of 5: BOOKS BY RATING
Exactly 50% of the books I read this year were 4-stars, which is actually kind of great. 4-star books are really good books, and I had a bump in 5-star reads as well.

(On Litsy, for me, books with 4 or 5 stars get a “pick,” books with 3 stars are “so-so,” and books with 1 or 2 stars get a “pan.” That means 65% of my 2019 books were picks!)

Ruthiella 65% is pretty good! 5y

thebluestocking @Ruthiella Not too shabby! 💙 5y

3 of 5: BOOKS BY GENRE
Two jumps in this category, in nonfiction and graphic novels. I am pleased with both developments. In fact, this year‘s ratio of genres is about exactly how I prefer it.

2 of 5: BOOKS BY OWNER
The trend of me buying less books continues. Actually, I haven‘t run the exact numbers on my buying, but I am absolutely leaning toward borrowing most books before considering buying them. (In 2015, 88% of the books I read I owned and that number has fallen each year since.)

LiteraryinPA I totally support that trend! I also try to borrow from the library unless it‘s an author whose book I know I‘m going to want to own. 5y

thebluestocking @LiteraryinLititz Right? That‘s where I am now, but I used to want to own every book I read. Not enough room or monies! 🤷‍♀️💙 5y

Happy New Year, Littens! I love tracking my reading stats and comparing year to year. So, my next few posts are a look at my 2019 reading by the numbers.

#2019stats
1 of 5: BOOKS BY FORMAT
This year saw a huge jump in my audiobook consumption. I do not know why, other than I spend a lot of time in the car and have access to great audiobooks through the library. My ebook ratio was about the same, but the physical books dropped a ton.

Scochrane26 I think I read more audio this yr because of Libby & having apple CarPlay. I also found more books through Littens. 5y

thebluestocking @Scochrane26 Ooh. All three of those reasons apply to me as well! 💙 (edited) 5y

Lindy I love all your stats. Thanks for sharing! 😍 5y

thebluestocking @Lindy Thank you! I love that Litsy is a place for things like this. 💙 5y

speljamr Oh, I love this kind of stuff. What are you using to produce these graphs? 5y

Daisey I‘ve been scrolling through all your stats posts and there is a lot of info here! Great graphs and comparisons. I may need to add a couple columns to my tracking spreadsheet. I‘ve also seen my audio continually increasing the last few years. 5y

thebluestocking @speljamr Me too! I compile the data and make the pie charts in Excel. And then I compiled the collages in the PicsArt app. 💙 (edited) 5y

thebluestocking @Daisey Thank you!! I love tracking book stats too. I‘d love to hear about your categories. I tried adding setting to mine this year and did not keep up with it well. And it‘s interesting that audiobooks are up for you too; I‘m really interested to see if it continues this year for me. 💙 5y

Daisey My stats are pretty basic, with emphasis on book source and format, but I like the idea of tracking more about publication and authors. 5y

thebluestocking @Daisey Book source is one that I would like to add to my tracking this year. I usually try to put why I read it, but adding the source (and the cost) would be nice data to have. 💙 5y
