Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year!
I found myself doing this a couple of years ago and I have(thus far) managed to keep doing it. My last year’s post was: Back from Hiatus – Mega Stats 2022! I ended up postponing the post last year because I did not end up finishing it. I am starting this just as the new year is an hour away, so I will probably let this sentence stay and wrap up the post for the first of 2024.
You can find my long lists in last year’s post:
- 2023 Long List I: Inspirational and/or Informational
- 2023 Long List II: Series I Started or Continued
- 2023 Long List III: Cozy reads of varying gravity
- 2023 Long List IV: Thrilling and Restless Reads
- 2023 Long list V: Highlights of my blogging year
I reviewed 331 books this year, the reason for this number and the fact that I actually read more that I could not count because I haven’t reviewed them are in my previous post.
My Average rating continues to be 3.6. I think the number of books I read lends itself to numbers like this.
Genres:
Short stories were: Drama (5), Horror! (2), Mystery (5), Romance (3), Sci-Fi(3) – Some were even a mix of multiple genres.
Graphic Novels: Drama/Young Adult (2), Historical fiction (4), History (1), Humour (3), sci-Fi (1) and Thriller (1).
Non-Audio Pages read: 99986. I spent very little time travelling this year (for obvious reasons). Which is why the audio count will be really low this year.

Audio listening time was only 3 days and 20 minutes, less than half my usual, but that will definitely spike now. I predicted the same thing last year but I wasn’t to know what the year held for me. Only eleven audiobooks
Finally, places my books took me to: 2 in space,4 at sea, 6 Dystopian worlds, 32 fantasy ones and 7 cover more than one place.
Superfluous Reading
