Starting my reading list for 2025! Another year of my most OCD New Year's Resolution. :)

2020 remains my high-water mark in terms of book count at 266; but in 2024 despite notching thirty fewer books I soared past it for total pagecount at 94,231 (2020 was 81,480). That's 257 pages per day. Between that and my watch list, you can definitely tell I spent more time distracting myself than usual last year. But I also got a library card for the first time since college, and completed my book club reading challenge, so I'm trying not to beat myself up over it. :)

In other stats for 2024: 53 were non-fiction this time (the highest yet); only 6 were re-reads; and 7 were graphic novels. 135 were ebooks, the rest physical, 21 of which were borrowed from the library. 12 were YA, two were books of poetry. And my work book club completed its second year and planned for a third! So, on to Year Nineteen of book tracking! I record books here as I start them, and remove them if I don't finish.

Books for 2025: 96, including 0 rereads, 27 nonfiction, 2 poetry collections, 4 ya, 49 ebooks, and 2 graphic novels. Library count: 11.
