As usual, I rounded all TV episodes (however viewed) up to the nearest half-hour mark and all movies to two hours total, then added in repeats. I watched less narrative entertainment in 2024, in exchange for a massive number of documentaries, many of them on my propped-up smartphone while doing repetitive tasks. I did see seven movies in theaters: still a lot less than pre-pandemic levels, but it felt good to occasionally get out again for a meal and an experience. And then, of course, there was the Paris Olympics!

I feel like I spent a lot of time using the screen as a distraction from more boring or distressing things this last year; the totals were insane enough I almost don't want to mention them. But for posterity's sake: 1870.5 hours of on-screen entertainment (5.12 hrs/day). A lot of that might not have been actual unproductive time, but still. *wince*

Anyway, on to my eighteenth year of tracking: started off as usual with a New Year's watch party with the BFF and her husband. We'll see how it goes from here!

Starting my reading list for 2025! Another year of my most OCD New Year's Resolution. :)

2020 remains my high-water mark in terms of book count at 266; but in 2024 despite notching thirty fewer books I soared past it for total pagecount at 94,231 (2020 was 81,480). That's 257 pages per day. Between that and my watch list, you can definitely tell I spent more time distracting myself than usual last year. But I also got a library card for the first time since college, and completed my book club reading challenge, so I'm trying not to beat myself up over it. :)

In other stats for 2024: 53 were non-fiction this time (the highest yet); only 6 were re-reads; and 7 were graphic novels. 135 were ebooks, the rest physical, 21 of which were borrowed from the library. 12 were YA, two were books of poetry. And my work book club completed its second year and planned for a third! So, on to Year Nineteen of book tracking! I record books here as I start them, and remove them if I don't finish.

Books for 2025: 101, including 0 rereads, 29 nonfiction, 3 poetry collections, 4 ya, 50 ebooks, and 2 graphic novels. Library count: 12.
