Year In Review – 2020 Reading
Hey everyone!
How’s the week and the brand new year shaping up? Hopefully the days so far have been good with the promise of a year better than the last.
In today’s post, I am sharing my favorite activity as a bookworm- a review of my year in Reading!
It’s fun and more importantly, it helps me assess how best to read better in the year ahead.
I personally use Goodreads- specifically the Goodreads app.
They have a whole section that packs the insights of all the years you have been on the Goodreads Challenge- thus, making it simple to see what worked or didn’t.
For instance, I aced my challenge last year.
With coronavirus going about, my reading shot up. I was (contrary to my initial thoughts) able to read more than I usually do and ace my reading target.
The last year totally debunked my mid year assumption that I would not be able to because of my infant/ toddler and the challenges of assisting my older child with her remote learning.
The books I read were pretty engaging too! My average rating was 4.7
Where I did slide down was the length of books.
This was not surprising at all because I read a lot of short books and illustrations this year.
Goodreads shows the longest and shortest read of the year and this is what I found:
The highest rated book I read is also a fun data point that Goodreads provides:
As far as most popular book goes, my choice is an obvious one.
I read across different genres and styles too! Illustrations, historical romances, epistolary, humor, drama, non fiction- I covered quite some ground. A look at the books that occupied my time.
As for this year, this is what my reading challenge looks like:
What about you, my dear readers?
Do you keep reading goals?
If yes, how do you track your reading? Do you review your year in Reading?
What surprises or delights or astounds you?
Have a great weekend ahead! Happy Reading!
