2019 In Review

So in 2019 I set my goodreads target to 100 and managed to read a total of 162 books. Below are some stats about my year of reading.

My best reading month was November 2019 in which I read 20 books and my worst was September when I read 8.

Genre wise the split was as follows:

Fantasy 100
SciFi 31
Historical 10
Contemporary 12

Thriller 4
Superheroes 4
Autobiography 1

NB: All sub genres are including in the overarching genre (i.e. urban fantasy, magical fantasy etc are all covered by Fantasy)

I read in different formats this year too.
43 Hardbacks
54 Paperbacks
41 Audiobooks
14 Graphic Novels
10 Ebook copies
(5 ebooks and 3 paperbacks were ARC copies)

104 books were YA
40 Middle Grade
18 Adult


87 of the books I read were published in 2019 with the remaining published before then.

I also DNF'd 3 books.

December Wrap Up

I didn't read as much as I was hoping to but it was fairly busy with Christmas and family stuff so I am still happy.

December TBR

Generally unless I am taking part in a readathon I don't tend to set TBR's but below is a selection of books I am hoping to read by the end of 2019.

November 2019 Wrap Up

In November 2019 I managed to read a total of 20 books.

I read far more this month than I expected to which I think was in part thanks to the Beliveathon which I read 11 books for. And it was a pretty good reading month for me. Let's hope December is just as good.
