As usual, I rounded all TV episodes (however viewed) up to the nearest half-hour mark and most movies to two hours total, then added in repeats. As with 2024, I watched more documentaries and "reality" shows than narrative fiction, many of them on my propped-up smartphone while doing repetitive tasks (blame the ADHD for that; I've found it actually helps). And I saw twelve movies in theaters, a high-water mark in post-pandemic times.

For posterity's sake: that adds up to 1985.5 hours of screentime (5.44 hrs/day). Anyway, on to my nineteenth year of tracking: started off as usual with a New Year's watch party with the BFF followed by a bunch of true crime for background noise while doing chores and packing up the Christmas decorations. We'll see how it goes from here!

Starting my reading list for 2026! Another year of my most OCD New Year's Resolution. :)

I set a new high-water mark for total book count this year, but 2024 remains my record for total pagecount (at 94,231); this year's books were generally shorter, for a total of 91,921 pages. That's 250 pages per day. Probably still too much, but I tend to read/watch more in exhausting RL years, and 2025 was definitely that for me.

The rough genre counts bear that out, lots of distraction material: 78 narrative non-fiction; 25 post-apocalyptic fiction; 39 mystery or thriller; 32 LitRPG; 23 Jane Austen variations; 35 other scifi; 21 other fantasy; 5 poetry collections; and only 15 historical or literary fiction.

In other stats for 2025: 8 were re-reads; and 10 were graphic novels. 127 were ebooks, the rest physical, 32 of which were borrowed from the library. 7 were YA. And my work book club completed its third year and planned for a fourth! So, on to Year Twenty of book tracking! I record books here as I start them, and remove them if I don't finish.

Books for 2026: 72 including 3 rereads, 20 nonfiction, 0 poetry collections, 1 ya, 43 ebooks, and 7 graphic novels. Library count: 13.
