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.

Translations: 8
2 Swedish
2 French
1 Japanese
1 Arabic
1 Norwegian
1 Italian

Setting 
8 took place in make-believe worlds
11 took place at least partly in Canada
93 took place at least partly in the United States
5 took place at least partly in Africa
3 took place at least partly in Australia/New Zealand
13 took place at least partly in Asia
4 took place at least partly in Latin America
60 took place at least partly in Europe

Where they were from
95 were from the library
71 I owned, of which 54 went on to new homes
2 were borrowed from family
7 were from Netgalley

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.
