My Year in Books

This year I found a different website, that like Goodreads, also gives you a year in books: myyearinbooks.com. I found it through this blog post. You just have to submit the link to your Goodreads profile/shelf and it'll gather all the info for you. Let's see what it can tell me about my 2023 reading year...

Welcome to your year in books, Jamie Ghione! What a year it's been, full of highs and lows and—of course—great books.

Now, let's dive into what you read this year!

You read 261 books in 2023, which adds up to 73,874 pages and about 125,586 minutes. Wow!

Your top genres/categories:

• You knew art mimics life (and life mimics art!)—you read 82 contemporary novels, all set in today's world with today's many challenges.

• You fell head over heels for romance, with 73 books read.

• Adolescence is a tumultuous, challenging time, and you welcomed that complexity through reading 48 young adult books.

Your top author this year was Debbie Macomber. You read 4 books by this author, making you in the top 5% of fans (maybe?). These books include:

• Dear Santa

• 50 Harbor Street (Cedar Cove)

• 1022 Evergreen Place (Cedar Cove, #10)

• 8 Sandpiper Way (Cedar Cove, #8)

As the seasons changed, so did your reading habits. Your biggest reading month was December, with 30 books. Way to go!

Looking back on the year, let's celebrate a few of your five star reads! These are just some of the books you loved this year:

What a year for books! If there was just one way to describe your taste in books this year, it would be eclectic.

I had a lot of short reads in December, including picture books. It's been  some time since I've given a five-star rating to a book. And I agree that my taste in books can be eclectic.
