2022 Year in Review post will be about the numbers.
Books read: 87
including 4 partial read books.
A considerable decrease from the year, well several last.
I had ambitious goals for 2022 and only achieved two of them. The main goal of reducing my owned books backlog failed. The last two months I went on a bit of a book buying spree. Most were books on my to-read list, but did not own. So, it doesn’t feel like a complete failure, but now I have quite a few books with no bookshelf space. 😞
Numbers: as of Dec.31, 2022
Own-to be read total: 1,053
- 📘 Print books: 688
- 🎧 Audio books: 142
- 💻 eBooks: 223
The only format that was reduced overall was eBooks. Well, there’s always next year.
2022 goals: - How did I do?
- 📚 At least one book from each shelf I own. (28 shelves) ❌ Read from 15
- 📚 Clear out the backlog from netGalley (around 30 books) ✔️ complete
- 📚 Read at least 12 books from owned audio books (mainly audible) ❌Read 7
- 📚 Read at least 1 book from my Nook (prefer to read 6) ✔️ Read 4
- 📚 Overall gain less new books in the year than I read (net zero/negative) ❌ fail
- Total gain: 12
Some of the books on the to read pile I'd like to read carried over from prior years:
- Cloud Cuckoo Land
- Termination Shock
- Gig: Americans Talk about Their Jobs
- Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge
- The Stations of Still Creek
- One of the 3 American Essays books edited by Philip Lopate ✔️
Since I read only two...the list will carry onto 2023.
