Sadly, I can’t figure out how to incorporate pretty pie charts. SOB! And I’m too tired to research/learn/attempt.
Happy 2013 Reading!

I love looking at everyone’s statistics. I need to keep better records!
Lovely to see you managed not to DNF anything all year!
I didn’t really do stats this year.. I suppose I could figure some out, but not sure if I really care at the same time…. I change each year with what I care about…
And that is perfectly OK. Do what works for you.
22 for book club or readalong! I haven’t tallied up my numbers for that but guessing it would be fairly close and I have a feeling this year will be the same. With two book clubs and an average of 3 books a month…doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room!
Yay for so much audio!! I wish I would have tracked but I can’t figure out how to track my half read/half listens…
I count both. Who cares?! If The Stand was 1100 pages AND 48 hours, both counts go in my grand totals.
I read your “SOB!” as an acronym instead of a crying sound, and was surprised for a moment!
I started keeping stats for 2013, but we’ll see how long it lasts.
I try to keep page count and year pub’d both in my review posts AND on the books-I’ve-read page so if I get behind, I can add to my google docs spreadsheet. Plus goodreads for categories. I had to go check all my audiobooks on audible for hours and it was a pain! So I will try to do better as I go.
Yea, I meant sob as cry not the other – but it would work, too.
What a shame you can’t have pie charts!
I created one and cut and paste but it wouldn’t ‘take’. I could see it on the edit post but not when viewing. And that was as far as my attempt went. lazy.
Yay IT!!
It looks like you had a great reading year woo hoo!
