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!
