My Reading Habits in 2024 so far
A little late to the party I know but, I wanted to take a closer look at the sorts of books I've been reading so far this year, analyse my reading statistics, and see if I'm on track with my reading goals for 2024.
So far this year I've read a total of 18 books. For my Goodreads Reading Challenge for this year I set my goal at 40 books.
Unsurprisingly, thriller and mystery have been my dominant genres (they usually are).
My ratings:
3 Star Reads: 5
4 Star Reads: 5
5 Star Reads: 8
At the end of every month I pick my favourite book read during that month. Obviously the winner depends on the other books I read during each month, but in general the winners are all five or four star reads.
These are my favourite reads from each month:
I'm taking part in two reading challenges this year, both of my own creation. The Clock Reading Challenge (where the goal is to read 12 books throughout the year, each with a number 1 to 12 in the title) and the Net Galley TBR Reading Challenge (where the goal is to clear my TBR list on Net Galley and make my ration 100%).
Clock Reading Challenge
So far I'm on track for the Clock Reading Challenge. I've read a total of six books so far for this challenge.
Net Galley TBR Reading Challenge
I'm doing OK with the Net Galley TBR Reading Challenge too although I'll need to up my reading game for this if I'm going to meet my goal by the end of the year.
How are you doing with your reading challenges so far this year? Which reading challenges are you doing? What books were your favourites from each month?
