Total books read in 2013: 216
Isn't that crazy!!! I can't believe I read so many! The crazier thing is that I would have loved to have read 200+ more. I'm planning on reading at least 200 again in 2014.
Books read, but still left to review (included in the above total): 11
Not all of these will be reviewed on my blog, but some will, so look for those soon.
Total books that I DNF (not included in above total): 18
These were books I read a few chapters to at least half of the book or more before I decided not to finish them for various reasons. If I would have finished them all, then my total would have been 234 books.
I'm hoping to spend less time on books I would DNF in 2014, which means that this number might be higher next year. I just feel it is a waste of my time to read so much of a book I don't like when I have so many books, and good books, waiting to be read. I spent too much time trying to read these books when I didn't like them from the beginning in 2013. It's hard though when you want to like a book and are hoping that it will get better to only find out that it doesn't.
Type of books read (genre) in 2013:
I'll refer to my handy graphs here:
I have a pretty good spread of books in every genre, with Contemporary and Fantasy being the most concentrated.
Book Source
That is a crazy number of books from tours! It's something I'm planning on cutting down this year while increasing the books that I read from NetGalley/Edelweiss by quite a lot. Although a lot of tour books also come through NetGalley/Edelweiss.
This is really more for me than anyone. It just helps me kind of see what I read and where I could make some changes. :)
