I love that you get to meet so many cool authors @Susan. And congrats on so much nonfiction. That's a genre I tend to struggle with.

I did no tracking this year, and have read 1,787 books.

Got rid of the TV in my bedroom so thats what I do at night. Not sleeping well - I am a restless sleeper - adds to the volume of books read.

Will go back to tracking in 2020

Wow @Rainey! That's a lot of books! Congratulations!

I read 101 books this year. Last year, I had all sorts of rules. This year I just read what I wanted, so it was interesting to see how the stats broke down (I was disappointed in the stat for white vs non-white authors).

Female: 59 (58%)
Male: 42

USA: 51 (50%)
Canada: 28 (28%)
England: 13
Ireland: 3
Morocco: 2
Cameroon: 1
Iraq: 1
Northern Ireland: 1
Scotland: 1

White: 67 (66%)
Non-white: 34

Fiction: 78 (77%)
Nonfiction: 23

I read 83 books this year -- purely coincidentally, the same number as I read in 2018. I read them all, either in print or digitally. I don't have any guidelines so they ranged from books recommended by friends, to books spotted on this and other Goodreads groups, to thrift store purchases and books found at holiday rentals. This year my resolution is to be a little more selective.

Read 58 books last year. After seeing all your stats decided to do my own and was pleasantly surprised at the variety.

Female 37
Male 21
