May Stats

On Good Reads to-reads shelf (I don’t have copies of all of these!): 462 (because I’ve added a whole load of series to the to-read list)

New books read this month: 35*

Books from the Library Book pile: 0

Books from the to-read pile: 4

Ebooks read: 10

Most read author: Janet Evanovich (by a country mile)

Books read this year: 154

Books bought: 26 paperbacks and 1 ebook

Abject failure on the New Year’s Resolutions front – no non fiction, or library books and I bought nearly 30 books.  The Janet Evanovich obsession means I’ve fallen behind on the NetGalley list again, after working so hard to get back up to date – and wifi woes at home haven’t helped either.  A must do better performance for sure.

NB – Book of the week will follow tomorrow – I don’t know why but two posts each a day late seemed better than one post 3 days late!

April Stats

On Good Reads to-reads shelf (I don’t have copies of all of these!): 445

New books read this month: 37*

Books from the Library Book pile: 4

Books from the to-read pile: 6

Ebooks read: 21

Most read author: Holly Smale

Books read this year: 120

Books bought: 8 actual books

New Year’s Resolutions kept: 1 library book read, 1 non fiction but I did buy 8 paperbacks – but I’ve already read 2 of them and started on a third so the pile hasn’t grown quite the way you’d think.  Although it is bigger.  My Janet Evanovich habit is not helping with the book-buying though!  And I bought a couple of e-books too.  My main focus this month has been getting my NetGalley backlog down – and I’ve been really quite successful at that – which is good.  Swings and roundabouts
