The Shortest book of the year is "Great and Small Easter (A Flap Book)" by BH Kids. My Longest book of the year is "When Twilight Breaks" by Sarah Sundin. My average book length by Goodreads is 54.

This year Popular and least popular are some what strange by goodreads. My Most popular book is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein which is a Children book or Classic book depending on on how you categories your books genres. My Least Popular book was "Magic Magnifying Glass: Lost Locket" by Wendy Ann Mattox. It a children book.

I have read a total of 79 books and some are to the same authors. Looks to be about 48 authors give or take for all 79 books. Here are some charts to show you how many for each author the total for each one.

There are some of the top authors I read this month by number of books read.

My Top 3 Books read by author.

Roger Carlson - 6 Books
Mike Berenstain - 5 Books
Reena Kode Pagnoni and Wendy Ann Mattox - 3 Books

For my Genre of book i enjoyed this year seem to be "Literary Fiction" 53 books (48.1%). The next one is "NonFiction" (19.5%), and then "Classic" with 2 (7.8%) and "Historical Fiction" with 6 (7.8%).

My genres as I categories them are listed below. This is across all of my books read this year. Children is my top genre with a total of 53 books read. If you look above chart that would be be Literary Fiction. The next one is Historical (Historical Fiction) with 6 books read. Mystery is next with 4 books read this year. Fantasy was read with 3 books this year. You can see where the numbers are 2 book are lower.

Those are my favorite to read by the way of fiction. Not in that order per say. I enjoy Children which falls in the Literary Fiction section in the above chart. Historical is the next best for me. Nonfiction 20 Books (30%) to 46 Books (70%).

The authors gender for me this year was clear. I read more female authors then male. Female authors read this year is a total of 53 (67.9%), Male authors read this year was 20 (25.6%), Both came to 4 books (5.1%) and NA came in at 1 books (1.3%). I did do this year though a pie chart to see what my percentage is more Female or Male? My key to this is using Female (F), Male (M), Combined (Both), I did not know (NA).

Almost but not quite there is my Series vs Standalone? How many books do you think you can read 32 Books in series and 47 Books that are considered Standalone. Standalone out wins Series this year. Those this year it seem almost even. How I did that is beyond me.
But how many of each for this year? I have not clue. How many did i start and not finish or got a book that put me to starting a new series. Well lets find out, By looking at the pie chart. Well it looks like I have

I wondered how many of my books came in what format? Were they E-books or Paperback or audio-book or another format. Well thanks me keeping track and Google Sheets for helping figure out the numbers to correct my spreadsheet for making the right format for each of my books for this year in 2021.

My preferred format I seem to be print books compared to digital in 2021. Though I did do a bit of each every year. This year it just something new that I can tack and see the graph for it. The other chart that new this is my pace in reading. You will be able to see both. My pace seems to be medium this year in 2021.

For This year of 2021, I have seem to have read more Paperbacks. I had a total of 5 different formats this year. E-Book, Paperback, Hardcover, Audio-Book and Board Book. My hardcover came next after Paperback. Which you can tell by the pie chart.

Do you want to see what my Age Range was this year. Well I finally was able to get that tracked and this year I was able to get graph for my Age range.

Looks like my Top age range for 2021 is Children with 64 Books with Adult coming next with maybe 10 books total. Though the number could be different as this chart is by category of audience.

Tell me how do you track age range?

Here is my favorite books for this year. Here a list of all 12 of them. I have will show you off my top list by showing you that. Some are new releases this year and some were new authors to me this year. I want to thank all the authors and publisher for these lovely top 12 Book that were my favorite for this year.

As you can see that is my list of authors by amount I read. You see my Top 5 Authors for this year. I read 54 books and have 31 Total authors. I have read few books by a couple of authors. I like that by far. You can see what my favorite authors were this year.

For my Genre of book i enjoyed this year seem to be "Mystery" 8 books (34.3%). This seem about fair given that Lauren Carr is my top author with a total of 6 Books read. The next one is "Romance" with 8 books (22.9%), and then "Historical Fiction" with 7 (20%). My Top was "Other" with 19 Books but it not listed on this chart.

Those are my favorite to read by the way of fiction. Not in that order per say. I enjoy Children which falls in the Other section in this chart. Mystery is the next best for me. This year this chart is not complete right has some of the genres were missing in the chart.

The authors gender for me this year was clear. I read more female authors then male. Female authors read this year is a total of 36 (66.7%), Male authors read this year was 14 (25.9%), Both and NA came to 2 books a piece (3.7%). I did do this years though a pie chart to see what my percentage is more Female or Male? My key to this is using Female (F), Male (M), Combined (Both), I did not know (NA).

Almost but not quite there is my Series vs Standalone? How many books do you think you can read 29 Books in series and 25 Books that are considered Standalone. Series out wins Standalone this year.
that are not series or just standalone. I know I read more series books then I do standalone books. I know i read more series then standalone. But how many of each for this year? I have not clue. How many did i start and not finish or got a book that put me to starting a new series. Well lets find out, By looking at the pie chart. Well it looks like I have

I wondered how many of my books came in what format? Were they E-books or Paperback or audio-book or another format. Well thanks me keeping track and Google Sheets for helping figure out the numbers to correct my spreadsheet for making the right format for each of my books for this year in 2019.

For This year of 2019, I have seem to have read more Paperbacks. I had a total of 5 different formats this year. E-Book, Paperback, Hardcover, Audio-Book and Board Book. My E-books came next after Paperback. Which you can tell by the pie chart.

Now for my reviews for this year. I have read 54 books. Most of the reviews are up for this year. I will show you my first review for 2019 that got posted on Goodreads. That is "A Christmas Story of Light" by Ora Smith. I got this book as an E-book and Being on the book Tour. I enjoyed it.
