happy belated new year! i don't think i've managed to get this post up on new year's day for like, years. or even the first week of the new year. this is the latest it's ever been lol. but i still always look forward to doing it and reflecting on my year of reading. quality-wise, i had a pretty good reading year, i think? for me, at least! i'm pretty sure i accomplished all the loose goals i set for myself. 2025 isn't off to the best reading start, but i have high hopes. also, i think i'll probably cross-post this to goodreads, so with that in mind, i'm going to try to be a little less rambly and a little less personal. which i probably for the best.

please forgive any typos! there will probably be a few.

here's my huge spreadsheet with all my 2024 reads. i love my spreadsheet; it's become my primary way of tracking my reading. also, here's goodreads' year in review thing. and also, for the first time, storygraph's. neither of these are totally accurate to my stats (especially storygraph; i imported my data and it didn't import everything correctly) but it's still fun to look at.

Number Of Books You Read: 364. do i kinda wish i'd made it to 366 so i could say i'd read a book a day? kinda.
Number of Pages Read: 111,176 pages.
Average Book Length: 305.4 pages
Your Average Book Rating: 3.53

happy very belated new year! i'm a little miffed at myself that i only remember dreamwidth exists when it's time for me to post my year end reading survey, or to make useless sad posts. perhaps that's something i'll work on in 2024. for now, i'm gonna talk about books! i try not to ramble as much as i usually do, but that's always difficult for me, haha. i read a lot, and i try to give multiple answers for each prompt, because i want to talk about a variety of books. also, i started writing this post on 31st december, and i was all over the place with it, so it probably reads very disjointedly. there will be typos.

here's my huge spreadsheet with all my 2023 reads. i love doing this, because i get to generate little charts for my stats. i love stats and i love charts lol. also, here's goodreads' year in review thing. (though because goodreads' stats aren't quite accurate with mine, especially with page number, i've incorporated most of the info from there into questions below.)

Number Of Books You Read: 450. i'll talk about this later, but i do need to start reading less. this doesn't feel like an accomplishment. it feels like i read so i don't have to think, and. it's getting out of hand, haha!

happy new year! i'm late in doing this because i'm busy and just had lot of stressful things i need to see about, but i had to make time for doing it because it's become tradition. as always, this is a little all over the place, and i'm sure i get incoherent and make a lot of typos. that's probably tradition too at this point.

so first, here's my huge spreadsheet with all my 2022 reads. i generated some charts that i'll stick in at the bottom for fun visuals. i usually also link goodreads' year in review thing, but their numbers are off because they don't have page counts for all the books, and it wasn't able to include a book i beta read for a friend, so i'll just add in a few questions below.

Number Of Books You Read: 330. as always, disclaimer that lots of those are short. 89 of them are less than 200 pages. but also i don't have a life, all i do is read. ✌️🏿
Number of Pages Read: 95,262 pages
Average Book Length: 288 pages
My Average Book Rating: 3.41 stars
Number of Re-Reads: 24. way more than usual!
Genre You Read The Most From: as always, contemporary romance, with 107 books.

happy new year! here’s my end of year book meme; doing this has become kinda therapeutic and just a nice way of reviewing the things i read. this year i also did a huge spreadsheet with my reads, and i made some charts that i’ll just stick in at the bottom. it’s fun to see it represented like that!

first, goodreads’ year in review.

and now, the questions.

Number Of Books You Read: 325. i mean, keep in mind that like 130 of them are novellas/novelettes, but also... i don’t do jack shit BUT work and read lol.
Number of Re-Reads: 10
Genre You Read The Most From: contemporary romance, with 104 books.

happy new year, everyone! time for me to continue the tradition of posting this year in books review on new year’s day. in the past i would do a review of things i’ve written, and although i’ve written more in 2020 than 2019 (34,000 words across 8 fics) it’s still not enough to justify doing an entire survey. so, year in books!

first, goodreads' year in review.

and now, this.

Number Of Books You Read: 242!! a record for me
Number of Re-Reads: 7
Genre You Read The Most From: contemporary romance, with 97 books. if we're talking super broad genres, then queer books, with 194.

happy new year, one and all! here's a continuing tradition. i used to do a year end writing meme to talk about what i wrote in the year, but as i only wrote 6 things last year and 3 the year before, we're doing this. year in books!

here's goodreads' year in review thingy that they generate for you.

and now, this.

Number Of Books You Read: 148!!
Number of Re-Reads: 10
Genre You Read The Most From: i... completely forget how i worked this out last year. i can work it out manually but oh man i don't want to lol. it's probably lgbtqia, or romance if we're talking broad genres.

i've been playing a lot of dragon age origins, and recently i started back with dragon age inquisition. here's a list of some of the (mostly cosmetic) mods i'm currently using! i thought doing this would be fun, and also good for me to note. i'm mostly playing inquisition right now but i'm still really excited about the dao mods i installed lol.

happy new year! on this day i usually post a review meme of all the fic i wrote for the year, but since i wrote and posted a grand total of three things in 2018, lol, that won't work. instead: BOOK MEME. because i read like a mother fucker.
