2021 Reflections

 So we have seen the statistics for the reading. But I did have set goals at the start of 2021. Were they accomplished?

To start off, the series to be completed this year are coming a bit later. So we will leave that off for now. 

The Kindle book's goal was left very open and it's hard to account for it now. I did get through 23 books from Kindle, so I will give myself this one as a win.

The balance of books was left almost as soon as I started. So let's do a quick one, the physical books are the only ones that will count, not digital (ebooks or Audiobooks). 

Some are not going to be very doable, I moved to another country in August and brought zero physical books therefore some will stay unread for a while. So I have 12 books still unread from the ones bought in 2021. 

For ebooks, I bought 156 and only read 23 so that means 85% of them are left unread. So that would have been a big fail. Good thing I gave up officially. 

So another priority in my reads, it can be also found here.

I had a lesser goal to read classics, Horror, and nonfiction more than before. As a very lousy goal setter, I did not put a number so it's hard to evaluate. In any case, nonfiction and horror were very low percentages.  So let's say that it was a fail here. 

About authors also that was a big flap. I did not read 50-50 from US/UK vs the rest of the world. I even tracked my reading in different ways so it was not a feasible thing to evaluate.  So in the end, 72% of my reading was from US/UK. I will say if I keep going I will continue to be disappointed. 

One of the other goals I had was to set only 10 books in my initial TBR per month and then after that do mood reading. That was not done even a single time. And I also did not manage to complete every TBR set. I did try really hard to complete them but only one time it was successful. Hope to do better in the upcoming months.
