Week 47 - Reading Stats

[Joanna]

Do you ever just go play around on Goodreads and see what fun features you can find? I know I definitely don’t use this site to its fullest potential. Today, I discovered that there is a section for Reading Stats under the My Books tab. So much fun! Things I have discovered:

- I have read 37,066 pages this year. Generally, I complete an average of 41,885 pages.
- The longest book I read in 2014 was A Storm of Swords (1,179 pages) and the shortest was The Griffin and the Dinosaur (48 pages)
- Publication year tends to hover between 2000-2010. The oldest book on my stats is Paradise Lost from 1667 (this is not the oldest book I have read, though- the graph only goes to 1650)
- November 2012 and March 2018 saw the most books read in a month which was 34 (these were mainly graphic novels and manga)
- Same two months also saw the most pages read (obviously)

This really is a fun little tool for a comprehensive look at your reading on Goodreads. The downside is that you cannot adjust graphs or download them.

Go take a look at your Reading Stats and tell us some fun facts you learn about your reading!

I've currently read 18 books on Good Reads this year. The longest book I have read so far is "The Institute" by Stephen King. The longest read is the "Beck's Diet Solution Workbook" because it has daily chapter updates.
