Just for Fun Reading Stats:
Books read/listened to: 132 (a personal record yay!)
Pages read: 33,794 avg of 91 per day, I was really shooting for that 100 per day mark, but didn't quite get there!
Genre Breakdown: I'm a little ashamed to say Young Adult/Teen was my most read category since I'm in my 30's, but there are so many great books for that age group now, and I'm loving the teen paranormals!
29% Young Adult/Teen
18% Romance
14% Fantasy and Sci-Fi
13% Audiobooks (ok, not really a genre, but that's how I kept track)
11% Mystery
15% All that other stuff (Chicklit, Non-genre fiction)
Oldest Copyright Date: 1979, Which Witch? by Eva Ibbotson (a very cute YA Fantasy book!)
Events: I participated in Dewey's Read-a-thon both times this year and had a lot of fun, reading, blogging, and visiting other blogs! The next one has just been announced, so mark your calendars for April 9th, 2011! It's a fun friendly reading frenzy!
Now for the hard part, picking favorites!
Best reads:
*Mind Games by Carolyn Crane (I think my top fave of the year, looking forward to Double Cross!)
*Heart of Stone by C. E. Murphy (I'm listening to the second book now and loving it!)
*The Ruby Ring by Diane Haeger (historical fiction about Raphael the painter)
*A War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card (quick, but powerful)
*Inside/Out by Maria V. Snyder (looking forward to Outside/In!)
*Interred With Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell (Shakespearean themed thriller)
*Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison (Teen paranormal)
*Firespell by Chloe Neill (Teen paranormal)
There are actually many more I could mention, but it would probably take me until next year to get it all posted! Good luck with your reading in 2011, I can't wait to see what the year brings us!
