2018 Wrap Up & Reading Stats


.
Goodbye 2018
2018 has ended which means its time I talk about the books I've read.

2018 started with me having high hopes. Because not only did I wanted it to be a mellow year but I also wanted it to be a great reading year. And for the most part, it was. I managed to read 73 books. Not more than in 2017n where I was, at some point, reading a book a day. But I'm so proud of myself for those 70 books I did read in 2018.
 b
I'm going to try and do some stats here and math is not my best friend so I might be wrong in some parts but I'm still gonna try.

--------------------------------------------------------


Goodreads says that I read 18,789 pages in the 73 books I read but I totally read more pages than that since I would pick up a book and just not finish it.



The shortest book I read was The Flowering of the Strange Orchid by H. G. Wells. And the longest was Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. 
Both were really fun to read.



I also read Romeo and Juliet which happened to be amongst the most popular. Which makes sense since its a well known classic.
But it makes me sad that only 28 people have read The Diver. A cute picture book with a cute inspirational story about following your dreams no matter what.




And my average rating was 3.7. 
Okay, so this kind of makes a lot of sense to me. Because I did read a few books that were below 3 stars. And surprisingly a lot of them weren't 5 stars like last year.


If you want to see the full Goodreads stats. I will include a link here.
I also did a Goodreads list on all the books I read during 2018. So I won't include individual links.
