How has your reading year been? What types of books have you read? How much? Here’s how our bookish year unfolded.
Tanya – My reading year has been quite mixed – some months I couldn’t finish a book, and others, I averaged more than my usual 1 book / week target.
✺ No. of books read so far: 42 – my goal is 50-52 books for the year
✺ Genre That Got the Most Love:
- Science Fiction – 11 – As much as I say I don’t like science fiction, I sure read a lot of it!
- Mystery / Thriller – 6
- Horror (Vampires & Zombies) – 6
✺ How I Read: Audiobooks – 26; physical books – 12; eBooks – 4
✺ Month I Read the Most: January – I finished nothing!
✺ Month I Read the Least: March and May I read 6 books – although December is usually the month I double down (last Dec. it was 7 books)
✺ When I Read: When I can. I usually read in spurts – although I’d love to say I read a few minutes every day, it usually doesn’t happen.
✺ Fave Books of the Year (Just a Hint): As usual, I have quite a few favorites – but a hint to one of my favorites is that Kim also read it this year as one of the 2016 Monthly Motif Challenges.
Kim – What an interesting reading year for me! This is one of my lowest reading years ever. However, most of what I read turned out to be a 4 or 5 star book. So I’d say that even though I didn’t finish many books, I had one of my best years yet because everything was so good.
✺ No. of books read so far: 45 – with a goal to read 50 books. This total is misleading though. See below.
✺ Genre That Got the Most Love:
- Graphic Novel/Comic – 11 So my total finished books includes these 11 comics. I actually read 34 ‘books.’
- Mystery – 8
- Fantasy -13
- Dystopia – 5
✺ Month I Read The Most/Least: It seems I read about three books per month. I haven’t finished any in November.
✺ How I Read: I’m about 50/50 when it comes to audiobooks versus print books. I tend to buy my audiobooks through Audible and borrow my print books from the library. I didn’t buy any new print books this year.
What are some interesting things you noticed about your reading this year?

I came across this at another blogger site and thought it looked like fun- sorry, I’m completely off on the date.
I love both of your lists! The oddest thing i noticed was that the month I read the least was September- which is such a big release month, so I have no idea why. Also, it was fun to track format because I finally gave in and got a Kindle so had e-book stats!
Thanks for doing this and happy holidays!

Thanks for hosting this again for 2016.
I had so much fun last year.
