3rd Quarter check in and a few reading stats thrown in | Goals Check In 2024

[@josmith5992]

You’re doing so well! I don’t have goals but I do track certain things out of interest. My non fiction is usually only 10% of my reading, short stories is usually about 20% but is 17% this year but then I’ve read more plays so 🤷‍♀️ . It’s just interesting to see how it changes every year although my translated fiction has stayed pretty steady at 30+% of my reading. I love big books so 15% of my reading is over 500 pages. You’ve excelled yourself on the buying front which I cannot say I have 😊 . There are seven authors I’ve read more than two from and most of those are old favorites which you’re right, can definitely mean you end up rating more books higher. 🤔

Ohh I love getting to hear about your percentages of types of fiction! You are great at reading bigger books! I envy you! I still find them so daunting to start.

You're killing it! Great job. The Becky Chambers books are a treat! No real hardship there. 😂

[@alysereads]

Yes, very heartwarming reads.

Congrats on your goal progress! The last three books that I've read are "All the Colors of the Dark", "The Searcher" and "The Henna Artist"

[@alysereads]

What did you end up thinking of the Henna Artist?

You're doing a great job! I have some goals that are just impossible at this point...but the world won't end and now I can do a better job of figuring out my goals for 2025.

[@alysereads]

I know that feeling! Some goals just don't quite work out, but it's all about learning and adjusting.

I've been reading Wellness since July. Today I declared it a DNF. I'm moving on to nonfiction November. Just started The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan

[@alysereads]

I'll always support putting down a book if it's not working for you! What are you planning to read for non fiction November!?
