2021 Reading Stats

[CBRetriever]

thanks, but before Kindles and access to used book stores and libraries with a large selection of books, it was a pain keeping myself supplied with reading materials. I'm a natural speed reader which makes it worse.

The highest rated book I read is a poetry book that I gave 5 stars and so did the other 4 people who rated it."

Hey, I once had a book that was rated by exactly one person - me. Thus, nothing could beat the "average" of 5.0.

Since I posted my Jan 2021 stats in the 2020 thread, I'll post my Jan 2022 stats here.

I'll continue reading more translated stuff after I post this, but the stats look cool right now, and I'm about to read something that would make them look less cool, so that's why I'm doing this now :P

(The % don't match because I've read one anthology by authors from several countries, which was written in English, so it's included in the language graph, but not in the country graph.)

Just like last year, I didn't mean to start reading one book from lots of different countries, but I was concentrating on the Circadian Reading Challenge, so it happened naturally. And of course when I noticed it, I wanted to keep going for as long as I was in the mood. Now I'm in the mood for something that will double one of the language pie slices. And yes I know one of the country slices has three books, that's the US obviously, and I made a conscious decision to let the graph look like this, because I was in the mood to read those.

I wish my stats looked this good at the end of the year! I already said this in another thread, but I really like reading globally in January, because it makes me happy to see stats like this, and there's no way I could ever do this for a whole year, unfortunately.

I still plan to add more countries in January, but I don't think I'll be adding more languages, so that's why it was time to share before the language graph starts looking less organized :)
