2015 - See Your Year in Books!
With just over two weeks to go until the end of 2015, it’s time to ask: How was your year in books? Did you read more than last year? What was the longest book you read?
Because so many of you love seeing Your Year in Books, we had a great time creating a fun, new design this year. Don’t keep it to yourself! Share it with your friends and spark a conversation about the books you’ve read.
"But it’s not the end of the year yet!" we hear some of you say. Never fear! Your Year in Books will keep updating until the very last moment of 2015. If you have plans to squeeze in some holiday reading and don’t want to peek until then, Your Year in Books will be waiting patiently. Was it a good year of reading for you? What was the book you loved in 2015 that you wish more people would discover?<

This is lovely :)

When I first checked it, there was a category of "most popular book read" and "least popular book read", which was neat. Wondering why it was removed?

LOL . This was so well put. Your perspective has to be appreciated.But I thought it was a tad bit bitter.
It would be really nice to see the reader tagged based on the diversity. I never liked being judged on the numbers, but this could be great.. "Seeker of Knowledge" for the ones with more diversity , "Big Funny Bone" for the ones who have mostly read the books in the Humor genre.
This is amazing! I hope this gets tos tay on my profile so I could look at it again! Thanks GR!
Love the new design! It was really cool to see my information like this!

I've sent it through to the design team for consideration.
How do I share my year to Facebook? I clicked the Share button, it faded to indicate an action, and then nothing. The FB symbol is on the right but it doesn't click. ??
Vicki > The share button adds your year on your GR timeline! For Facebook, when I click on the big blue F, it opens a box to post it there.
It looks awesome and it is indeed very informative!!!Great feature! Thanks!!!

I love it!And I wish that all books in different years I could be similar to 2015. And see it every time I want, not just once :)

It is pretty, but I'd rather see a little more information, maybe some sorting by rating, common tags, how my ratings compared to those at large, how popular each book was overall, etc.I'm a dorky data girl.
This is really really cool!!!!! Thanks so much for doing this!
Hello, I want to ask for the possibility of clicking on a person's name or the option to send a friend invite.I participate in a book forum and we were posting our My Year in Books, but I can't add friends through there.
EDIT: I just realized you can click on the profile picture of the user to do that. Probably should allow to do the same on the name!
Eu adorei esta função, sempre cadastro os livros que leio no Goodreads para não me esquecer
What a kool feature, thank you Goodreads... IMHO, the best reading site available.
My stats keep coming up with 8 books, but I read a lot more than that! The dates read on them say 2015, but most are not showing up in the stats.
This is so Neat. I Love Good Reads. Sorry I didn't join sooner! How long has Good Reads exsisted?

Then on the "date read" column, use all the "edit" to put the dates. To avoid the problem, use the "currently reading" while you read a book, then mark it as "read" when you finish it, it will set the right date automatically (you can also do both of them the same day).

I really enjoyed seeing my year in books! It gets me all giddy because I read so many good books this year!

Hear, hear!

AHHH!!! FIRST THE AWESOME FONT CHANGE!! NOW THIS!!! YAY!!! THIS IS WHY I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LVOE LOVE LOVE GOODREADS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Just when I thought my favorite website couldn't get better - it did! What a fun layout. Looking through these lovely visuals brings back many pleasant memories of the year that was. Thanks Goodreads!
Any way we can see all our friends Year In Books pages without them having to "share" them?
Bitchie *Bored Now* wrote: "This is awesome. Now if only there were a decent, non-offensive to fic authors way to get all the freaking FANFIC I've read this year counted too, my year in books could be complete."Me too. I spent the entire month of February and into March reading fan fic and could only manage to get one zine onto my list of books read.
OMG!!! Goodreads team, You've created a Beautiful year in books layout for us and I love it so much I wish I had ink in my printer so I could print it and hang it on my wall. It's truly beautiful. Thank you so much! It's been an extraordinary year in books and I've been saying that since January with
by Paula Hawkins A gripping , suspenseful, twisty *cliche warning* edge of your seat read! All time fave. The longest book for me was:
by Linwood Barclay who became one of my favorite authors last year with
"Broken Promise" is another winner. One I'd Love and will continue to promote forever is
by Laura Dave whose book isn't a book at all......it's a work of art, a painting, a story painted so vibrant with turmoil, struggle, hope, redemption, second chances, family and Love. A book so Beautiful and relatable. One that got into my Heart forever ago it seems and hasn't lost a single bit of its profound impact in my Heart. It never will and the author will probably wish I'd shut up about it across the Internet, but this is a gem and gift which hasn't gotten nearly the attention it deserves so very much. I have many more I want to add soooo I'll be back. For now, thank you for such an awesome "Year In Books" layout. Beautiful, Beautiful, Love it! Thank you and thank you for making it your blog choice. Wonderful to be able to express thanks and happiness over this with the entire Goodreads community.

I was thinking the same, but forgot I could check it from there. I absolutely LOVE the new layout. I posted my thoughts above. Thank you all so much! ~*Happy Holiday's and Happy Reading*~
Hello bibliophiles! This is my 1st year on Goodreads, I think I made this account sometime in 2014. I'm happy I kept up with it because I'm close to finishing my reading challenge and "My Year in Books" is just BEAUTIFUL. This is incredible - I've never encountered a community like this or a platform dedicated to reading - the thing I care about most. So thanks Goodreads and Goodreads friends, it was a great year! =D

It's best to please send a message to our support team about this! We can then investigate what's going on there.
Its like an assessment that we all have to compile.
Its's Fabulous!! I loved it. Thank you Goodread:)

I really enjoyed looking at the books I'd read this year. I have two more books to reach my goal but I may not make it :-(Ah, well...there is 2016.
I can't believe that I read over 20,000 pages this year (not counting textbooks for school)... don't think I'll be meeting the challenge... at 73 and stated would read 75 and right now reading foucault's pendulum which is over 600 pages... but still, WOW!!!!May start listening to audiobooks, but there is just something about having an actual book (hardback preferably) in your hands....
Great idea and I like the design too. It would be also great to see the number of books we read in different languages! Thanks!
