2019 reading in review.

books and reading · January 4, 2020

Looking back at my reading in 2019, I didn’t write down an official number of books I wanted to read last year. I had found myself just reading to get to my goal number so I decided in 2019 that I wasn’t going to have a numbered goal of books to read. Still, I managed to read 52 books in 2019.

Here’s how I did in 2019:

Number of books read: 52
This averages out to 1 book read per week.

Number of pages read: 18,335
Averages out to approximately 353 pages read a week.

Longest book:
It’s Not Me, It’s You at 560 pages.

Shortest book:
Rolling in the Deep at 123 pages.

Average Book Length:
346 pages

According to Goodreads, my average rating was 3.2 stars. This sounds about right. I tend to rate most books around 3 or so (or as Goodreads likes to say “It was good”).

Books by genre:
Fiction – 47
Nonfiction – 5

Books read for book club – 6

Books by acquisition type:
41 books were borrowed from the library.

Books by format:
Paperback – 19
Hardback – 16
Ebooks – 17

It was another great year for books and I can’t wait to see what I read in 2020!!
