Welcome to my giant post of 2022 reading stats! It's actually been a while since I did a yearly wrap up because I can't seem to keep a computer alive for an entire year. They keep dying and taking my spreadsheets with them! (Of course I don't back up my junk. I'm not that responsible.)
Anyway, 2022 was my worst reading year in recorded history. I usually read around 100 books a year, but in 2022, I read a grand total of 62. I think I was just busier than normal. My dog got sick in September 2021 and then needed increasing amounts of attention until she died in April 2022. The day after she died, I switched roles at work. (With 4 days' notice that the switch was happening.) My new role is infinitely more stressful. I worked a zillion hours of overtime. I caught COVID and several other diseases. I ran/walked over 1000 miles. I joined a boxing gym. My roommate is a 3-year-old child. Yeah . . . books haven't been a priority for a long time.
Even though I wasn't reading very much, the blog did okay. It passed one million all-time pageviews. I woke up at 3 in the morning to get this sweet screenshot.
Okay. Enough blathering. Let's make graphs. I mostly make these graphs because I like to see how my reading changes from year to year. I don’t know how interesting the graphs will be to people who aren't me, but I decorated them for you! Maybe that will help.
If you’re the kind of nerd who wants to know more about my reading year, check out my favorite books of 2022.
