This I read a total of 179 books
across 52,759 pages. Listened to 7:44 hours of audio. And DNF’d
10 books which is something I am finally starting to not feel guilty
about. I read 78 print books, 90 digital books, 13 audio.
169 of the books I read were fiction, 12 were non-fiction. 151
were adult, 5 were kids/middle grade, and 26 were young adult.
11 Books I read were by male authors
while 171 were by female authors. I read 62 Back listed books
and read 117 books published this year. Of the books I read 36
were from my own TBR, 31 were books purchased in 2020. Though I
purchased more than that this year. 54 books were from the library. 57
were review copies and 5 were books I borrowed from friends and places
other than the library.
Of the books I bought 14 were from
amazon. Mostly kindle books and mostly under 5 dollars. 13 books were
bought from Barnes and Noble (at least a brick and mortar store). But only 4
books were bought from Indie stores. My goal is to do better in 2021.
Of the books I read this year my most
popular genre was Mystery/crime with 63 books. Followed by historical
with 39, romance with 38. Fantasy with 14 which actually shocked me
as that’s a genre that I tend to not read. General fiction was 9.
Which is mostly books I didn’t know how to classify. I read 5 classics
and 6 comics.
For nonfiction I read 4 general
nonfiction, 8 memoir/biography, and 2 books classified travel and food.

with 47 unread books and 48 Unfinished series.
