I will have some fun putting together the data in an upcoming post. It’s not often I get to play with graphs and charts, so I’m looking forward to it. Meanwhile, I wanted to share the Goodreads “My Year in Books” infographic. I’m pleased to say that I met my goals this year. Make sure you share your own reading journeys in the comments or on twitter for others to follow along. You can see the online infographic here.

It was a lot of fun. And I still love your Great Books blog–tho I don’t often take the time to comment in this rushed days.

Great list — I must check to see if I have a Goodreads info graphic too. Sadly I didn’t record all my reading on Goodreads, so my 2018 list is incomplete, but here’s what I was able to put together: http://dowsingfordivinity.com/2018/12/26/books-ive-read-in-2018/

Thanks for the link! Goodreads does take a bit of work, but it is fun little by little.

I was honestly shocked that I appear to have read so few books — the total cannot be correct (I think I must have reread some paperbacks which didn’t get recorded on Goodreads). Especially need to do better at reading books on Wicca and Paganism. Only two! Fortunately some really interesting ones have been published recently so I want to read those.

How did you compile this?

Sorry I missed this Steve. The infographic is through Goodreads, compiled automatically (when you fill out the books read bit in the app). I also have an excel sheet.

Love this. My goal in 2018 was to read less than previous years. I had averages 100 books per year for 13 years. I succeeded, but not to the extent that I wanted. 37,244 pages over 112 books. Eerily the same average that you received, 333 pages per book. I loved the book cover montage. I may revisit to write down a few titles.

We have some similarities! I’m pretty sure 2019 will soften for me, particularly in book length (I’ll end up reading 30 or 40 Lewis books, which are mostly short.
