Statistical Fun (or something)

[Becky]

Because I was enjoying the random stats that people were posting, and want more.

Things like:
# books by genre
# books by page count (like short story single, novella, novel of 200-300 pages, 400-600 pages, doorstops - whatever you want)
# books by male vs female authors
# of nonfiction books, and theme breakdown (science, memoirs, etc)
# books by GR authors
# books by self-pub authors
# books read for group reads
# books read for buddy reads

Anything else you can think of. Humor me people. I'm bored!

[Nyssa]

Oh geez! I could have given you all of these stats when I was conscientiously keeping Calibre updated. My frustrations with the tagging system led me to back off.

Total books this year: 55

27 Graphic Novels
8 Novellas
1 standalone (possibly 2, but the author is hinting at a second)

17 were female authors

1 was a self published author (however, I think it has since been picked up by a small publishing house)

All were fantasy, sci fi, urban fantasy or graphic novels. Yay genre!

LOL It's OK. I kinda fibbed anyway. I don't FOLLOW TV, like I don't have shows that I watch all the time, but I do watch TV - mainly Netflix and Amazon streaming video. And I'm on here way more than I should be. That takes up lots of my reading time.

[Nan]

We had a lot of winter up here, maybe that helped me.

I watch TV. I have no shame.
