Review of 2024 Reading Habit
I am choosing to not give the fascist narcissist that is moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave the video ratings he craves. So because I am off work for the Federal Holiday of honoring a true hero (Martin Luther King, Jr.), I’m going to focus on other things.
One of the things I thought I would do is review my reading statistics for 2024. For this I am not short books/stories – maybe for 2025 I will.
Cutting to save space for those who honestly don't care.
In 2024, I finished 96 books and DNF’d 10.
Of the completed books here are details:
Format
Print = 16
Digital = 29

My audience rating for books

I also kept track of how much I saved by using Libby, Kindle Unlimited, Audible+ and borrowing from friends (factoring in the monthly subscription costs). For 2024 I saved $910.97, which is not an insignificant amount.
I am interested in seeing how 2025 goes in comparison.
