Gord's 2021 Reading Challenge

[Gord]

About the only thing that pops into my head is the book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. It was the book I read that lead me to Working Stiff. Other than that not really. Non-Fiction is just not a genre I dabble in.

[Brittany]

I do want to read that one too now. It isn't a genre I tend to dabble in either but if you come across any good ones of any kind let me know

[Gord]

I read 35 books this month, 7 manga and 28 novels, for a total of 8,551 pages. It wasn't an entirely great month as I had four duds which is higher than normal for me.

[Brittany]

Still a pretty nice haul Gord

[Elena]

It's still very impressive!

[Gord]

Another month has come and gone. I've added another 31 books this month (21 novels and 10 manga/comics) for a total of 8,183 pages.

[Brittany]

Impressive as always Gord!

[Gord]

Not a bad month overall. I read 30 books total with that divided into 19 manga/comic and 11 novels for a total of 8,438 pages. There were a couple of stinkers in there but overall it was a pretty good month.

[Elena]

A great amount of books and as usual a nice mange selection :) I always pick something to read from your monthly updates :D

[Gord]

A bit of a lower page count this month but I read 34 books this month broke down in 20 manga/comics and 14 novels.

[Elena]

Great stats! What was your favourite manga this month?

[Gord]

Both Tomo Chan and New Game were great manga. The Tea Dragon Society comics were also amazing.

[Elena]

Thank you :) Every month I just go for your reviews to pick a new manga :D

[Gord]

Today I finished my 350th book of the year. I've now got two months to read another 100 books to reach my unofficial goal of 450 books this year. It's going to be tight but I might be able to do it.

[Brittany]

You could do it probably if you keep reading a bunch of extra manga/comics or novellas

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Holy crap! That's awesome Gord! We believe in you! You got this!

[Gord]

This was a better month than I anticipated. Mostly because I read a lot of manga/comics.

This month I read 48 books broken down into 9 novels and 37 manga/comics for a total of 10,068 pages

[Brittany]

Nice month Gord!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Your number are always super impressive! Awesome job!

[Gord]

Alright between a week off and reading a whole lot of manga/comics my numbers are a little high this month

I read 59 book total broke down into 47 manga/comics and 12 novels for a total of 12,894 pages.

[Brittany]

Now what was the best one?


Great reading month though Gord! One of these days I will go binge all the manga I have out...

[Gord]

I can't just pick one.

Honestly there were several good reads in there. Skulduggery is always a favorite, Deja Dead was an interesting start to a series, Longmire is always good.

On the manga front there weren't really any duds in there. Cooking with Wild Game and Gakuen Polizi were probably the weakest.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Oooh nice numbers Gord! I spy some Jennifer Estep! Always excited to see that. Lol. I'm gonna have to check out some of these manga. They sound fun and I haven't read any since that one time I read Bleach like 2 years ago. Lol.

[Gord]

December was a rather impressive month with 51 books read, broke down into 33 manga/comics and 18 novels, for a total of 13,118 pages.

[Gord]

Time for those final numbers of the year. I read:

185/200 novels
291/250 manga/comics
478/450 books total
113,260/130,000 pages

I surpassed some goals and fell short on others but overall I'm happy with things.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Nice job Gord! Those are great numbers!

[Brittany]

Awesome reading Gord!!

[HeatherH]

Gord, those numbers!!! So awesome!
