Gotta love the year-end stats from Goodreads and StoryGraph! Being new to StoryGraph this year, I’m not quite used to its features, and I seem to have a few books missing in terms of my total numbers. Still, it’s fun to look back and see what my reading habits were in 2024.
First, according to Goodreads:
Quick note: My “shortest book” was actually an audiobook… hence the lack of a page count!
I completed my 2024 Reading Challenge… but keep in mind my total includes graphic novels and children’s books as well as novels and big, heavy books.
I’m starting a little lower with my target for 2025 (160 books) — we’ll see how it goes!
Over on Storygraph, the stats are a little different, and much more detailed — but most of what ended up on StoryGraph for me was based on my import from Goodreads. I suspect next year’s year-end stats will be a bit different:
If I’m correct and StoryGraph doesn’t count books that are strictly audio in the same mix as print/ebooks, that would explain why my shortest book of the year is different on StoryGraph than on Goodreads!
I knew I read quite a bit by Kelley Armstrong and Abby Jimenez this past year — but didn’t realize quite how much! And on the flip side, it’s nice to see how many new-to-me authors I tried.
I’m not taking my average rating too seriously for 2024 — as I mentioned, most of the data came from my Goodreads import, and a key difference between the platforms (one of many) is that StoryGraph allows for half-stars in ratings. I suspect my averages will look quite different at the end of 2025.
It’s actually startling to see how many books I read from series! I’m not surprised at the number of re-reads — I do love to revisit favorite books, especially via audiobook.
Well… that was fun! I don’t take any of the stats too seriously, but it is fun to see how my year’s reading looks as a whole. Maybe I’ll explore new territory in 2025 and shake things up a bit!
Or not — I’m looking forward to a year of reading whatever I feel like!

Wow you had a great reading year! Congrats!
Thank you! It makes me happy to see how many books I ended up loving this past year!
That’s a great year of reading and brilliant to have such a high average rating. You obviously really enjoyed the books that you read.
Thank you! I think I’m getting better at focusing on books that really appeal to me, and not investing in books that I “should” read if they’re not working for me.
It’s nerdy fun to look back at the reading year…,especially with the neat graphs! Happy new reading and blogging year! 📚🥂
Thank you! My inner geek is so happy to have graphs to look at — almost as good as Excel spreadsheets!
What a fantastic year of reading!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
192 is very impressive even if some are graphic novels! I need to give Storygraph another try, but it’s so hard to break away from Goodreads!
I’m just cautiously dipping my toe in when it comes to Storygraph! My daughter loves it and has been encouraging me to give it a try.
Wow! You had a monumental reading year! Looking forward to seeing what you read in 2025, Lisa!
Thanks, Barbara! It’s been fun looking back 🙂
I actually created a Story Graph account but never did anything with it. For now I’m sticking with Goodreads, even though I know their stats aren’t always 100% either. Great job this past year!
Thank you! My daughter is a big fan of Storygraph and convinced me to finally give it a try. I’m still learning my way around, but it’s been fun so far!
It’s fun that Story Graph shows you what genres you read most, and what authors, too. I like that feature. 2024 was certainly a good reading year for you. Here’s hoping 2025 is even better. 😀
Thanks so much! I’m really just getting started with using StoryGraph and checking out its features, but it is fun to see some of the reading stats and trends it provides — even telling me what type of pacing and mood I seem to prefer!
Wow you read a lot of books. I know part of that is the mix of genres that you’ve described but even so that’s incredible. You also read a major amount of Kelley Armstrong books. I need to get on and check out more by her as I have so many on my TBR. Which have been your favourites by her? Wow 56 new authors in a year is fantastic too.
Ooh I didn’t realize that Storygraph allows half stars. That’s another reason for me to try it out sometime.
I hope you have a wonderful 2025 and hopefully discover some new favourites along the way.
Thank you! I listen to audiobooks every day while commuting and also while exercising, so that helps boost my numbers quite a bit. 🙂 Kelley Armstrong’s books are all so good — I really just started in the last year or so. I’ve been loving her Rip Through Time series, but I’ve enjoyed a bunch of others too.
Yes, Storygraph definitely gives some added ways to rate (half stars) as well as describe book, so it’s helpful for people who like to see a lot of data about books up front. Worth checking out!
I really do need to try and get into the audiobook format 😅 Ooh I think I have the start of that one on my Kindle so I’ll have to check it out sometime. A lot of her series are ones I really want to get to though. I honestly don’t know how she writes so much 😂
I keep seeing various things about it that make it sound good so I’ll definitely have to check it out sometime.
great Stats.
