Before embarking on a new reading year, I like to think a bit about the past year. I read 129 books in 2012. Not my biggest year ever, but respectable. The genre breakdown was hard to figure out! There are so many books that could go into more than one category, so it ends up being a bit subjective.
Make a graph
Impressive pie chart action! Are you amazed? I read a lot more romance this year than usual, leading me to generate this special statistic for you:
Books I read by Nora Roberts/JD Robb: 21
Or, about 18 percent of my total reading for the year. Ummm.. I'm a little embarrassed :) But now you know I'm totally honest with you guys, because otherwise I would totally have edited that part of list.
I also noticed that I'm a bit sexist. Books by male authors: 16
Tomorrow I'll be back with my Best of 2012! In the meantime, I'd love to hear how your reading year went.
