As our Reading Challenge is coming to a close, how did you do? Anything particular you loved that you want to tell us about? Anything you want to tell me to influence the structure of the Reading Challenge for next year? Did you like the looser format this year? For me, I realized I needed a tally of audio versus text, so I’ll incorporate that for next year, and take in your suggestions as well.
I easily finished my 52 books by early December, and am partway through many others. I read more fiction (32) than nonfiction (20). This is much less than usual for me, but I met both my goals of finishing at least a book a week, and also reading down on my (considerable!) pile of books that I already owned.
Above, you can see some of the five star books I read that I had physical copies of (as opposed to audio), and below you can see some of the four star books ones I read that way. Also, below that, you can see my charts filled out if you are curious about my rather wide range of reading habits, some edifying, and some pure entertainment.
Here are the stand outs, shown here with links to my reviews:
For nonfiction I’d tie three wonderful ones with top honors:
Fiction? I’d say a tie between:
- Horse
- Playground
Any of these would make great gifts too…
