I read 43 books this year. It’s not a lot compared to last year’s 71, but it was a full year.
- Page count: 16,413, or 59% of what I read last year.
- Library use: I read 17 library books and 26 books that I own.
- Female and male authors: 33 of the books I read were by women. I read books by 26 discrete authors. Twenty of those were women.
- Digital versus analog: I read 25 dead-tree books and 18 digital books.
- Fiction versus non-fiction: I read just 3 non-fiction books this year.
- Favorites: I read a lot of good books this year. I really enjoyed Native Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin, which combines all my favorite themes: linguistics, aliens, and feminism. I got out of my usual comfort zone of genre fiction and found some things I quite liked, notably My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante and Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt. My most favorites were probably The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate by N. K. Jemisin. I just love her writing.
