2017 | Bookish Statistics

As I have done for the past couple of years, I have compiled some of my reading statistics for the past year to share with anyone who, like myself, finds statistics strangely interesting. I'm using the same little survey as I used last year, many parts of which have been borrowed from similar posts by other bloggers over the years.

I really love looking at my reading year in this way and breaking down all the statistics. I find this very helpful in setting my goals for the coming year. My star ratings from last year are particularly interesting to me, for example, as they seem to be lower on average than the last few years. This suggests to me there might be something I need to work on in 2018.
