My Year in Books

Last year I found another website, that like Goodreads, also gives you a year in books: myyearinbooks.com. 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 2024 reading year...

249 Books which adds up to 67,521 pages and 114,786 minutes

You read 3 books and 884 pages by them!

I was surprised by some of the results. I mean, 29 books in December! Last year it was 30 in December. I wonder why I get so many in December. Probably because I was rushing to finish the reading categories that remained among my various challenges. And I had a lot of short reads, such as picture books, that month.  And all publications from the 1900s? I know I read a few "classics," so why didn't those get counted? Though I'm guessing that they were reissues from the 20th century. And more than eight books published in 2018? Who knew, until now?

Try this to see what your "year in books" results are. See if it surprises you, too 🙂
