2020 Books - My Year in Review

Happy New Year everyone!  As we start a New Year, (and hopefully a more normal one), I wanted to reflect on my year in books for 2020.

Goodreads is a great resource for collecting information about reading habits in the course of a year.  Here's some interesting reading about 2020 gleamed from this resource:

• I've read 118 books with 38,723 pages read
• My shortest book was Mistletoe in Paradise (novella) which was 89 pages
• My longest book was Hello, Summer at 472 pages
• My average book length in 2020 was 328 pages.
• My most popular book as defined by the number of people who also shelved a book was The Vanishing Half.
• The least popular book as defined by the number of people who also shelved a book was All The Acorns on the Forest Floor.
• My average Goodreads rating was 4.1 which shows I've selected the books I believe are a good fit for me.

My blog stats also provides some interesting information:

• The book that brought the most views to my blog (for reviews already published) was In a Holidaze
• The books that generated the most comments on my blog were Goodnight Beautiful and Love Your Life .
• My favourite books of 2020 were 28 Summers and Anxious People .
• The book that surprised me how much I enjoyed it was Dear Emmie Blue.

I really appreciate all the support I've received in 2020 - my first full year blogging.  It warms my heart to see in my blog comments that many of you are discovering new books based on my reviews.  I really appreciate those of you who have subscribed to my blog.  Publishers look at stats such as the number of subscribers a blog has when determining whether or not to grant approval for a book so when you subscribe it gives me access to some great books.  

I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Successful 2021!
