100 Books Read In 2019 - What are the stats

Now that I have read 100 books, I want to recount what I have accomplished so far this year.



So in 8 months that was

Books: 100

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Words: 31,217

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Read The World Challenge Books
 (that I read since January): 84


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest have been fun "off challenge" books.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shorted book I read: Ada's Violin at 40 pages


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The longest book I read: Fire And Blood at 736 pages


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The biggest reading month: February with 25 books read



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The slowest reading month: July with 7 books read



This was a lot of fun!  How has your reading year been so far?

  1. Niiice! My entire year has bean a huge slump unfortunately, with short bursts of reading moods. Hopefully the rest of the year will be a bit better. Happy reading!

    1. Yes - I do find reading this number of books that there are a lot of "misses", and make me want to quit. I think a busy summer and taking a break from constant reading helped reset my streak

  3. Wow! Not only have you read 100 books in 8 months. But you read a quarter of those in one month!! I'm shocked and amazed! I hope you had mostly fun books to read :)

    1. I know! February was especially cold and dreary where I live and I decided to read a lot of short books that month to pass the time.

  4. OMG I don't know how you can possibly read that much. I'm such a slow reader. On average I read like 4 or 5 in a month? Maybe? Do you use audiobooks?

    1. You are not a slow reader! You read at the pace you desire, and that is all that matters. :) I have a lot of time on public transportation. I don't have a car (we live in a big city and public transpotation is amazing) so I can sit and read as I travel to do anything. That helps a lot. I set a goal of reading 100 pages a day, and just take breaks through my day to do so. I do listen to some audiobooks - started picking that up just this year. I listen while I grocery shop, or clean my house, cook dinner, pack lunches, garden.... :) Passes the time.
