What this tells me:
- Age Level: I obviously like reading YA books.
- Dominant Genre: no surprise that fantasy takes the top spot... but contemporary in second?! Since attending college, I've found SOME contemporary novels more agreeable than usual...
- Number in Series: I read a lot of "first" and "standalone" novels... but hey, I completed a lot of series, too :D
- Publisher: HEY THERE, HARPERCOLLINS! This only includes the TEEN imprints, like HarperTeen, Balzer+Bray, Katherine Tegen, etc. Notice that I put Avon in its own category. But Avon is an (adult) imprint of HarperCollins.
- Rating: Wheeeeee, four stars. But I had more two-star ratings than last year, and less five-star ratings.
- Source: Publishers sent me more physical ARCs this year (thank you!), but Edelweiss and NetGalley are getting a lot of love too. Basically, I read a lot of review books.
- Year of Publication: 2014 dominated, in terms of pub year reads. As if should have.

I love looking at this sort of thing at the end and seeing what it says. Impressive number of daily posts and I love that most of what you read is 4 star quality. None of your stats really surprised me after visiting your blog off and on.

YAY :D I adore this post Alyssa. So many stats! And so many followers.. SOBS. I am all kinds of jealous, lol :) But you are amazing, so I totally get why so many follow you. <3 Thank you so much for sharing about this :) Heeeh. I might have rated A LOT of books with 5 stars. But still read TEN 1 star books :( and thirteen 2 stars. Sad face. Will read more amazing books in 2015, hih :) Happy New Year sweetie. <3
ReplyDeleteDon't be! You are an amazing blogger and wonderful person. And I wouldn't fret about the one- or two-star ratings - you and I are very, VERY honest in our ratings and reviews. Not a bad thing at all!
DeleteHappy New Year to you too, Carina!
I love the pie charts! And it's really cool to see how all those books add up and break down. I may have to keep a spreadsheet for 2015 so I can see all the pretty numbers. Great post!
ReplyDeleteRight!? In the end, all the effort is worth it because IT LOOKS SO NICE AS GRAPHS AND THINGS :D In my opinion. And I thought the spreadsheet was a nice way to do things, throughout the year! Definitely keeping that habit.
DeleteThank you, Kel!
Look at all those contemporary books you read! I bet the number will probably be higher next year :)
ReplyDeleteI swear, college have changed me. I love fantasy, but DANG, THOSE CONTEMPORARY NOVELS. It's mostly contemporary romance ;D
DeleteWow! You're crazy thorough and everything's so impressive!! I'm sure your 2015 will be just as amazing if not more :)
ReplyDeleteTeehee! All in a good day's work. A good year's work, perhaps ;) I hope so too - and the same for you, Eileen!
