Midyear Reading Stats 2020

This year has been a good one reading-wise at least. I have managed to find very good books and am going in a very strong streak.

There are several goals and plans I made at the beginning of the year but we'll take a look at them at a later date. 
Half a year is already here. It is going at super speed, lately, right after May, I feel the years just go at twice the speed than the previous months. 2020 is not the first year I try to focus on reading and not my first time trying to blog the journey. I have not been the most content in posting but I am doing ok.

So let's take a look in the statistics, I do love to see my progress and even other people's. 

Total book read (until end of June): 130 books

 





It has been a very constant reads, the month I read the least was March yet it is still right on the edge of the minimal book I set up for myself. 

I have read 43,560 pages in average 7,260


Not a bad page count for the halfway point, as I don't generally keep track of my reading this way I have no way to compare if this is better or the same compared to the last few years. But this is I will at least have a back up if I want to make a comparison next year. 

Surprisingly I am not reading Audiobooks the mot but its a close second place.


I have tried to get a wide range of books I pick up in several aspects. 




I have been trying to read more 2020 books but among my challenges, there are plenty of backlisted books so they sure give me a wide range.

Also, I have enjoyed most of what I read so that make sit a fantastic reading year. In average we have a rating of 3.5
 


I have a very close call between the 3 and 4 stats.

There are a few more things I have been trying to keep track of, regarding the authors.


Also because one of the main things this year was to spend less, or in other words not buying so many books, I tried to keep a record of my purchases. I am a total failure I have no self-control!!



I will take a look in the goals thset for 2020 at a later date, for now this is all. hope yu enjoy my very bad graphics.

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.
