2021 Bookish Stats

Hi all!

The past few years, I’ve shared a whole bunch of statistics of my reading for the year, based on things I thought were interesting. I decided to do it again because it was pretty cool seeing my reading spread out in charts like that, where I could track things more clearly. 

So here we go again!

My best reading month was February with 28 books read — a book a day! And my worst was April with only 2 books read 😦

As usual, I rated quite a lot of books 5 stars! And that’s because I only read books I’m genuinely interested in.
