I am a huge nerd that loves looking at stats so I couldn’t let the year go
by without sharing with y’all my book stats for 2021! Hope you enjoy
seeing how I spent my reading year and here’s to 2022 being even
better and bringing some great reads!
.
The Big Picture: An Overall Look
at My Reading Year
.
.
Number of Books Read Per Month:
.
.
This list was quite surprising to me. I mean I knew there would be some
variety in the number of books read each month and that some months
would be lower than others, but seeing that I read 9 books in August
was certainly not what I was expecting. Shoot I wasn’t expecting to see any
month with a number that high!
.
Book Lengths
.
I might love to read, but y’all big books still intimidate the crap out of
me so it doesn’t surprise me that my average book length is around 400 pages.

How My Reading Choices Compared
to Other Goodreads Users
.
Ratings
.
.
An average rating of 3.6 for the year isn’t too bad.
.
Genre Breakdown
.
.
.
This genre breakdown surprised me in more than one way. First, I want
to address the fact that not only did I read more adult than YA, but
I read a LOT more adult than YA. Am I finally starting to grow
up a little with my reading tastes? Lol
.
Next, we have the subgenres. I never really thought of myself as someone
who reads a lot of fantasy, but these stats don’t lie. Out of the 38 books
I read in 2021 12 of them were fantasy for a total of 32% which was by
far the highest percentage of all the genres. The second highest was
historical fiction which again came as a real shocker to me because in all
honesty I thought I didn’t even like historical fiction books.

Author Talk
.
1st Time Reading a Book From: 24/27 Authors
.
.
Read Book By Them Before: 3/27 Authors
.
.
I’m honestly not surprised to see that the majority of the authors
I read from this past year were first time authors for me. I don’t know
why, but I don’t seem to be the most loyal reader (unless you are Cassandra Clare)
and instead like to sample a little something from everyone. lol Although I can
tell you now that I will for sure have more author loyalty in 2022 and already
am planning on picking up more from Andy Weir, Marissa
Meyer, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Victoria Schwab.
