Ooh, I love your graphs from the reading tracker! Good stuff. And I’m excited to hear that you enjoyed reading more nonfiction enough to do it again 🙂

I am a big audiobook lover. Didn’t used to be as much, but these days, audiobooks are my friends. I use them all the time and probably close to half of my reading is done that way. Good goals, love the charts, have a great 2018!

Like your graphs! You seem to have a lot of good ideas about blogging in the new year. Congrats on all the books you finished. I too am hooked on audios! — as well as print books from the library. Best to you in 2018.

In reply to Kate @ Parchment Girl. Thanks so much, Kate. I've looked at your Pinterest article on your Ultimate Guide to Book Blogging, but just haven't acted on it. I definitely may hit you up for advice when I have more time. (Probably summer after school gets out for the year.) I'm excited for you in your new venture.

In reply to Kathryn. Thanks, Kathryn. The graphics were actually kind of fun to do and a little eye opening for me. Happy New Year to you, too!

In reply to Catherine.

I did know you were a librarian and it’s truly ridiculous that I stopped using the library. When I first got a Kindle you couldn’t get ebooks from the library and I so quickly became enamored with electronic reading that I just started to consider it my little vice! I’m definitely going to start requesting books again. My wallet will be happy.

Yes, please…2018 has to be better. (In more ways than one!)

No library books?! You know I was a librarian, right? Even better news- you can get e-books for Kindle at the library. It is fabulous- no late fees, easy to download, and you can put new releases on hold even before they come out. It is easy peasy.

I’m so impressed you did a yearly recap. I have my stats in Excel but have not done a darn thing with them. Maybe this month…

We definitely had the same kind of year- for you it was mostly grade C which for me is 2-3 stars. We really need 2018 to be better!

Fantastic post, really enjoyed it and impressed by all the graphs. I enjoy a good audiobook too, and they sure help to add to our statistics by years end. I too am going to endeavour to look to my library this year before I buy, so I am with you on that goal. All the best for 2018 reading and living!

Congratulations on 99 books, Susie! That’s outstanding! My goal was 50 last year and I read almost 100. This year my goal was 100 and I only read 75. Apparently, I am terrible at predicting my own reading habits. Ha!

Good luck with your blogging goals in 2018 and don’t hesitate to give me a holler if you need help with your Pinterest strategy. Pinterest is my baby!

Have a wonderful New Year!
