I retired in 2018, and I did a year-end statistics post that year, but since then I have not. You would think being retired would give me more time to read, but it also gave me more time to pursue other interests. I simply lost my desire to read for a while. So the numbers have gone down. Fortunately, beginning the last quarter of 2021, I feel more of a desire to read and my pace has picked up.
I'm summarizing in a chart the last four years. I'm including 2018 for comparison purposes. Mostly this post is for me, but if you are interested, you can take a look.
Here's a link to my Goodreads Year in Books 2021, which I always think is more interesting than a spreadsheet.
My favorite book of 2021 would be Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir.
I think that's enough for now. Wish me luck for 2022!
Annette, when I retired my reading numbers also went down those first few years but, have finally it has picked up. Project Hail Mary is one I would like to try.
ReplyDeleteDarn it. I can't figure out what happened to my comment. I can't believe you retired 4 years ago, I would have guessed 2. COVID time! It's great that retirement is allowing you to do many other things that you enjoy doing.
ReplyDeleteI adore spreadsheets! I'm glad you included one - it's interesting to see your yearly stats side-by-side. I might have to do that with my 2022 stats post.
