Goodreads: My Year in Books 2019

Goodreads Year in Books meme

Hello! I hope you had a great Christmas. Even though I still plan on reading one or two more books, the Goodreads Your Year in Books has been going around for a while. Bite Into Books is hosting the Your Year in Books Book meme and I decided to participate.

I knew when this year began that it would be a good year in books, and it was!

Some Statistics…

I read 55,261 pages across 152 books (so far) this year! There’s still one more week so it’ll probably be a little more. I averaged 363 pages per book.

Book stack

The shortest book I read was Life After Legend, which was a whopping 21 pages. the longest book I read (on audiobook) was Les Misérables, which is 1463 pages in print.

The most popular book I read this year was City of Bones, which was read by 1,626,682 other people. The least popular book I read was Goof-Proof, which was read by 26 other people.

My average rating was 4.5 (although I don’t always rate my lower-rated books).

My first review of the year was “The Midnight Heir,” and the last book of the year was Almost Midnight (so far).

So that was my year in books! How did you do? You can join this meme with a link-up on Bite Into Books. There you can see what other people read too!

Goodreads Your Year in Books Meme

There’s less than 2 weeks left in the year!  I found the Goodreads Your Year in books meme, hosted by Bite into Books, and I thought it would be fun.

I’ve said before this year, I only recently discovered how amazing Goodreads was.  I read so many more books this year than last year, and seeing my statistics was fun!  If you want to find out your Goodreads year in Books, follow the previous link and it’ll give you a link to your own book year.

My statistics: I read 32,320 pages across 83 books!  It adds up over time.

The average length of the books I read overall was 389 pages.

The most popular book I read this year was City of Bones, which was read by 1,497,274 other people.  The least popular book that I read was George Whitefield: Evangelist for God and Empire, which was read by 6 other people.

My average rating was 4.4 (I’ve read some amazing books this year!)

The highest rated book that I’ve rated was Friction, which averaged 4.6 from Goodreads readers.

This has been a great book year, and I can’t wait to read even more books in 2019!  And well, there’s probably enough time to squeeze another four books into the rest of 2018 as well.
