Total books read year-to-date: 36.
(At this point last year, I had read 44 books. In each year beginning with 2007 - the year I created this blog - I read more books than I did the previous year. If I'm going to repeat that result in 2012, I think I'm just going to have to read faster!)
Fiction: 26.
Non-fiction: 10.
Audiobooks: 13.
(That more than one-third of my "reading" happened during my commuting time is somewhat disconcerting to me.)
On the Kindle: 5.
(I own three of these. I borrowed the other two from the Kindle Lending Library.)
Published in 2012: 0.
(Of all these numbers, this one surprises me most!)
Published prior to 1990: 1.
Books by male authors: 6.
Books by female authors: 30.
Books by new-to-me authors: 22.
(Some of those are debuts but most are just my first experience with the author. In most cases, I will be looking for more of the author's work!)
Books that are the first of a series: 4.
Books that are part of a series I started prior to 2012: 5.
Historical fiction: 5.
Biography, autobiography, or memoir: 6.

You're doing a GREAT job, you statistician, you! I love that you are using your commute time wisely. I only work about 7-8 miles away so I only get a small amount of listening done during the school year, but I love it!! Audios sure help me not get so grumpy with any traffic...maybe more drivers need this strategy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe numbers read matter a lot to you but I just want to know that I am better read at the end of the year than when I started. By all accounts YOU are!! Congrats!
Audiobooks definitely help make my commute more bearable! :)
