Gord's 2024 Stuff

[Brittany]

Wow an anthology being your fave is impressive!

[Gord]

This month I read a disgusting amount of books and is a perfect example of why I should not be left alone with nothing but time and books.

[Gord]

Since we are sharing stats for the year I figured I'd share some of mine. Keep in mind that all the manga kind of skews the numbers a bit. Also, as I'm looking at this stuff, I probably tagged some stuff wrong.

I agree some books are so hard to put in one category! Crazy savings as always. Libraries are wonderful.

Only stat you are missing is manga vs full novel vs novella :)

[Gord]

I forgot about that one. I tweaked it a bit for what I was reading. Manga is for manga (obviously) and I was tossing manhwa in there as well. Graphic novel is basically for comics outside of Asia. I'd say North America but I've pulled in a couple comics from other places as well. I also tossed in a light novel tab as well, I wanted to keep those separate from normal novels.

Manga: 183
Full Novel: 72
Graphic Novel: 36
Novella: 4
Light Novel: 22

[Brittany]

I added light novel as well since I read my first 3 ever this year! Also I agree with your thoughts on manga vs graphic novels. I do the same.

It is a crazy amount of manga you read!

[Gord]

I was kind of in a mood this year.

[Brittany]

Totally fair!
