jedibuttercup| 2007 - 100 Books (averaging 408.57 pages) 2008 - 80 Books (averaging 385.50 pages) 2009 - 67 Books (averaging 338.03 pages) 2010 - 129 Books (averaging 378.75 pages) 2011 - 133 Books (averaging 375.98 pages) 2012 - 144 Books (averaging 398.92 pages) |
2013 - 130 Books (averaging 397.36 pages) 2014 - 130 Books (averaging 391.13 pages) 2015 - 122 Books (averaging 364.18 pages) 2016 - 100 Books (averaging 433.06 pages) 2017 - 104 Books (averaging 413.24 pages) 2018 - 108 Books (averaging 377.99 pages) |
Total books went slightly up again in 2018, but slightly down again by page average, leaving me at 40,823 total pages for the year, compared to 42,977 in 2017. In more fun statistical news: it worked out to exactly nine books per month.
In other stats: 10/108 were non-fiction this time; 27 were re-reads, a pretty consistent percentage for me; and 10 were graphic novels.
To continue last year's additional analysis, 91/108 were identified as part of a series or larger creative universe of some kind. (Not taking many risks, was I? Comfort mind-food, I guess!) And in terms of genre: 50 were science fiction; 34 were fantasy of some variety (epic, urban, etc.); and 15 were mystery or thrillers or drama or romance, often in a historical setting. Only one was YA.
So, on to Year Thirteen of book tracking!
Book stats through 125 include 19 rereads, 10 nonfiction, 4 ya and 7 graphic novels.

Date: 2019-01-16 07:52 pm (UTC)It's a little more on the comedic side than the usual space-based post-apocalyptic sort of tale, but I definitely enjoyed it, and plan to pick up the second one when it's released.
