The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blog.

It seems I have read 165 books so far this year. And the breakdown by genre looks like this:

I can’t imagine getting to 200 but I did notice on my Goodreads friends list, I had a number of friends (all bloggers) that made it to 200 and over. Kudos!!!

That graph is from Storygraph! Did you ever figure out the downloading from Goodreads or are you just going to start fresh in January?

No I didn’t figure it out but I have added my tbr to it and will start January!!! ❤

Good for you Tessa. According to Goodreads, I have read 798 books this year. Now I know that sounds like a crazy amount. 336 were audiobooks, 180 were children’s/MG/toddlers books. 19 were Non-Fiction, and the final 284 were a mix of novels and novellas.

Thanks Tessa. The perks of being retired and living alone. I also have almost 3000 books on my TBR, so it balances out, I guess.

I don’t know how many I read. I only reviewed 19 on my blog, but there were many I read and didn’t review (for various reasons). I need to keep better track of things. But I know I didn’t read as many as you!

If Goodreads didn’t tell me, I would have no clue. And I have trouble imagining that many books much less digesting that I actually read that many 😳🤣😆

I surpassed my goal of 85 on Goodreads, and it looks like I’ll come out around 110. Not too shabby.

Not too shabby at all, especially when you consider that you wrote a book in that time too. 🤗❤️🤗

That’s great, Aaron! I bet your pages read are not too far off from mine since the type of books you read tend to be on the longer side, I think.

Yea, I tend to go for 400-800 pages. My average, due to the few pesky novellas I’ve sampled, is about 380🙈

When we did that post about keeping track of the books we read, a lot of people mentioned Storygraph – so of course I had to give it a try. It provides those beautiful graphs. ❤️

I was sure your graph would show a higher percentage in fantasy. Guess I shouldn’t bf surprised as I’ve added a ton of thrillers to my shelf because of you💜

Thrillers vs. Fantasy both tend to come in waves, so at times it does seem like a read a lot more of one over the other. I was surprised by how much YA I read though most of those are fantasy.
