I don’t think I have enough time today to finish another book, or even start one, so my count for the year stops at 128.
More pages but fewer books than last year.
That’s an average of 2.85 days per book, which seems amazing even to me. I know some books took much longer than that, but I also remember a few days in which I read multiple books back-to-back, reading from morning until night.
31 of the 128 were audiobooks, and two were graphic novels.
I read so many good books this year! In 2022 I finished Ada Palmer’s fantastic Terra Ingota series, discovered the wonderful books of Diana Wynne Jones, and met the wonderful Leonid McGill character of Walter Mosley.
I started a new job this year, and the increased demand on my brain meant I read more in the first half of the year than the last half. Then again, I think that seems to be true every year. Still, I’m tempted to lower my target for next year.
I am far behind most of my friends and family when it comes to movies and TV shows, but I think I probably read more than average.
