My 2010 Statistics

For 2010 I kept a number of lists. The totals are not completely accurate, as I tried not to include short stories in them, but I did read quite a few of them.

Total books read: 324 (Improvement from 2009!) An average of 27 books per month.

Books from booksfree: 80 (Cost per book averaged $2.80)

I kept a list by category also. Not a strict list. This year I have a separate category for M/M but in 2010 they were not separated:

Erotica: 133

Paranormal: 88

Historical: 27

Contemporary: 53

SciFi Romance: 21

In 2009 I also read more erotica than anything else. I was trying not to read as much in 2010. Failed miserably! I have plans to change that for 2011. I want to read a lot more SFR and PNR.

I also have added a category for ebook short stories, which will include anything that is not in print and not a full length novel.

For 2011, goals include starting a number of new series that I have collected, continuing or finishing series that I already have on hand, and trying not to collect any series that I don't already have. Gotta make a dent in my TBR! I will play in fewer PBS games, and in general, try hard to acquire far fewer books per month. Yes, I did keep track of print books acquired per month, no I am not going to reveal my shame. December was my lowest of the year and it was 30 books.

I haven't decided what book I will start for my first book of the year, yet. I'll have to check my list. That's another thing, ok make it a resolution: shelving the "save the best for last" attitude and reading what I want to read most!
