October 2020 Wrap up

 Another month has gone, it's really something to note. 2020 has been a ride. But it so close to the end as well. This month is special because we managed to complete the 2020 reading challenge set in Good Reads so that was a great boost for me. Seeing the challenge completed when I was feeling down gave me the positive boost I needed to get into a positive mentality. I am still riding that wave.

Things are indeed falling into place towards the end of this year. I am happy with where my life is going lately. Nothing has changed really, just the way I see things has improved. 

Moving on, I have here stats about my reading this month. As it can be very dull data to see I generally just place everything in an easy way to grasp (for me that means tables) and today's idea is to place information in graphs. We'll see if that works.

This makes things look so good. It gives a boost regardless of how many books you complete that 107% makes me embarrassingly joyful. Ok, time to get a handle on myself, stop feeling so good about yourself, that is so annoying for everyone else. Apologies (I should really learn to be more humble and less annoying).

I did not plan this but I have a very even YA and adult. I am not sure why I include this among the statics I make when I don't pay attention at all when making my TBR or picking up my books during the month until the last day when I write this out.  Oh well, I'll decide later really.

The only difference is I did get one book from Audible and partially listened to but most was read so it was placed into the Shelves category instead of Audible. But a small detail.

Of course, almost everything I read this month was enjoyable, that helped me get through books much faster. 

Now, let's take a look at the authors and see how we did there. 

I noticed my flaw on the 31 of October too late to do anything about it. I have made a goal for myself to read more in Spanish and not just read translations but read books which original language is Spanish. I added another book to my TBR towards the middle of the month and even set a specific day to start it in order to finish before the 30th. I planned to close my reading month ("early") in order to give me time to get the wrap up of the month on the 31st. I do try to dedicate the last day of the month to the wrap-up and not to reading because I have a small thing against carrying over books to the next month, it still happens but it irks me.

I forgot to read that one book I added!! I did not realize that until now!!! I only noticed now as I am putting it all together because my Spanish author category is blank.

I'll have to try harder next month. Ok, that's it for now. See you later

Stay safe!
