2024 Reading Wrap-Up
Well, 2024 has come to an end and I've put together my reading wrap-up. I had hoped to read 175 books and actually read 176, so I'm pretty pleased with that. In terms of pages read, I set a goal of 55,000 pages and read 56,924 pages, so a win there as well.
I read primarily Fiction, 165 of the 176.
Most were adult level books, with 8 being teen and 2 children's.

Genre: This graph doesn't break them down exactly like I do, a few of what they call genre aren't genre, but an appeal element, like contemporary. I also don't know how they determined 'mystery,' 'thriller,' and 'crime.' Some books cross genres.
