2011 Stats

This is my wrap-up post for the year 2011. I originally aspired to 250 then 300 and then 400 books read and I actually managed to surpass that! See below for full details.

I posted 442 posts, the vast majority being reviews of course.

I hosted my first contest and hope to have at least one more in 2012.

I was a First Round Judge at The Shady Glade's best Overlooked YA Book Battle and ended up stepping in as a Round Two Judge too.

How did I do on my 2011 Resolutions (totally forgot I had even written any!)?
-I did end up feeling pressured by myself to read a lot, which was successful but also sometimes stressful so that is one of my goal's for this year. I also felt pressured to post every day which is something I'm dealing with by trying to build up a backlog of posts.
-Reach 100 followers-done! Currently at 267 (thank you so much!) and trying to figure out what will happen when GFC inevitably goes away...
-Finish all my challenges-done! Not that I was very ambitious and this year I only signed up for 2 but I also want to do some readalongs and readathons as I hope to read more classics this year and really buckle down on my FITG challenge.

I am very surprised that I read 53 books that I owned; that's about 1/8 of my total and beyond what I was expecting. I am also a little surprised by my library numbers as I would have thought it would be more; but now that I have celebrated one year with my nook color, I guess it's no surprise that I've been reading a good amount on it.

  1. Wow, what a great reading year! I only managed to read 121 books in 2011, down from the 204 I read in 2010.

    You read a lot of library books. Do you ever check out e-books on your Nook? A lot of libraries are offering that, something I am taking advantage of on my Kindle.

    I hope you have a fantastic 2012!

  2. @Christina T: I have used my Nook to check out e-Books; not a lot though because my library doesn't have the best selection. They have a wider range of hard copies.

  4. What an amazing reading year! You should be very, very proud. :-)

    Just seeing this reminds me that I need to read and review all my vine books soon just to have that 75% cushion.

    AND YES to buckling down on FITG!

    Happy New Year :-D
