Booknblues | 12060 comments How does your reading compare to others on Goodreads.

https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/1...

While I've read 18 of them, I've only read 3 last year. I have 3 on my tbr.

I wouldn't say that contemporary fiction is a weak point since I read so many newly released books, but I do pick and choose what I read and I have read none of the contemporary fiction, but have 2 on the TBR

Theresa | 15524 comments I have read 13 of them, 6 of them in 2019. Others are on my someday list. Others in my never ever list lol.


message 3: by Susie (new)

Susie I’ve read 26, but not all during 2019.


message 4: by Kimber (new)

Kimber (kimberwolf) | 845 comments I've read 15 altogether, and there are 3 on the list I want to read.


message 5: by Meli (new)

Meli (melihooker) | 4165 comments I've read 11 and have a few on my tbr and 1 that I will read this month (My Sister, The Serial Killer).


message 6: by Barbara M (new)

Barbara M (barbara-m) | 2594 comments I've read 16 and have 8 on my TBR. I hesitate to add to my TBR from this list because its so huge and grows quickly enough just on PBT!


message 7: by Nicole R (new)

Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments I have read 27 of them, but like Susie, not all of them recently and not all of them since joining GR.

I have 4 more on my TBR and I doubt I add any of the other 8. Though I may one day read, the Steve Jobs book. I do think he is fascinating and Walter Isaacson is a wonderful biographer!


message 8: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 8414 comments I've read 28 of them ... though not all in 2019.

I have 7 more on my TBR, and not interested in the remaining 5.


message 9: by David (new)

David Putnam (davidputnam) | 282 comments I read 13 of them though, not all in 2019


message 10: by Amy (new)

Amy | 12916 comments I have read all eight of the historical fiction, six out of the eight at the contemporary fiction, four out of the eight for the mysteries and thrillers, and three out of the eight for nonfiction. I never would’ve expected that. Again that’s all thanks to you guys.

Ha! I've also read 27. Too funny. It will soon be 28 as I am midway through Woman in the Window.

There was no category where I read all the books, but I'm only missing 1 from the classic category. Is the Alchemist actually any good?

Another 6 or so are of interest to me, but only one is on my imminent TBR.


message 12: by KateNZ (new)

KateNZ | 4100 comments 23 for me with a couple in the immediate wings, and several more on the TBR. Not that ‘most read’ always means ‘good’ ...


message 13: by Jgrace (new)

Jgrace | 3939 comments I've read 12 of them but only one in this past year.


message 14: by Jen K (new)

Jen K | 3143 comments I've read 23 including all 8 of the Classics and have 3 more with me to read soon and others on the list to read.


message 15: by Charlotte (last edited Jan 06, 2020 11:56AM) (new)

Charlotte | 1701 comments 29 for me and one currently in progress... although like others, not all were read in 2019 but a lot were.

I've read all of the historical fiction and all but one of the contemporary fiction.

Alchemist depends on your interests... It was ok while I was reading but as time has gone on I've realized it made more of an impact than I originally thought. I read it as part of a book led group coaching so we dug into a bit more than I normally would have if I read it on my own.


message 17: by Nicole D. (new)

Nicole D. | 1573 comments 27 for me through the years


message 18: by annapi (new)

annapi | 5505 comments I've read 17. A few of the others are on my TBR.


message 19: by Joi (new)

Joi (missjoious) | 3970 comments I've read 21.
4/8 Historical Fiction
7/8 Contemporary Fiction- My reading wheelhouse
6/8 Mysteries and Thrillers- My guilty pleasure genre
2/8 Classics- Eek, I need to brush up on my classics.
2/8 Nonfiction- I swear I read a lot more nonfiction than this represents!


message 20: by Hebah (new)

Hebah (quietdissident) | 675 comments I wish they'd included sci fi, fantasy, and romance.

From the list, I read 11, but none this year. It's interesting how many of the books on the list weren't 2019 publications, even outside of the classics. Goes to show the power of the backlist!


message 21: by LibraryCin (last edited Jan 06, 2020 05:03PM) (new)

LibraryCin | 11684 comments Historical fiction: 3/8 (+ one more to be read later this year for book club)

Contemporary: 1/8 (+ one in a couple of months for book club, + 1 more on the tbr)

Mystery/Thriller: 5/8 (+ hopefully one this month)

Classics 7/8 (and possibly the last one in high school - I can't recall) - crazy, this is not my favourite!

Nonfiction 1/8 (+ 2 are not officially on the tbr, but they are on the radar, so I suspect I will read them eventually)

That's 17 in total.


message 22: by Sara (new)

Sara (mootastic1) | 770 comments I've read 15 (including five of the six classics and that last is on my TBR list) and have eight more on my TBR.


message 23: by ~*Kim*~ (new)

~*Kim*~ (greenclovers75) I've only read 6 of them and none of them were last year. LOL!


message 24: by Joanne (new)

Joanne (joabroda1) | 12570 comments I have read 9-and the rest I have no interest in reading.
