I’ve been keeping track of every book I read for the last four years. Over half of the books I read were for a review site that I volunteer at under a pseudonym, so I omitted their titles from this post for privacy reasons.
The number of books I read overall was somewhat smaller than usual. I started plenty of them, but I didn’t finish as many as I normally do.
The number of biographies I read increased dramatically. It’s fascinating to read about how other people lived their lives. I was especially interested in how they handled failure and other life challenges. You can learn a lot about someone by seeing how they fixed problems in their lives that seemed insurmountable.
My poetry numbers were down. I normally love this genre, but I had a lot of trouble finding good stuff to read in it this year.
Everything else seemed to stay roughly even. They vary a little every year, of course, but they felt pretty constant to me.
Here is the final list:

The holidays remind me of how far away we live from each other.
Today I wanted to talk about something that annoys me a little bit every time I go shopping for new exercise equipment.
ake any sense.
