So this is it! Another year ends which means another wrap up! This will be my third time wrapping up my year of reading! Thankfully, I did slightly better this year than I did last year. My aim is always to improve, even slightly, on the year before. While last year, I was quite strict with what I read, this year I was more spontaneous and I felt that I enjoyed reading a lot more, trying not to stick to one specific schedule!

Also, if you want to look at my 2020 Reading Plan beforehand to actually see how it did, you can read that post here >>>

For the stats, this wrap-up tends to be very statistics heavy, I used a mixture of my own reading spreadsheet and the Goodreads Wrap Up! Some of this data is skewed slightly as I did DNF 7 books this year. I try to read at least a quarter of the book before DNFing it but sometimes I just knew after a chapter or two I wasn’t going to like it, I still count those books to my overall goal because I did spend time reading them. But I am going to try and make sure the list below is as accurate as possible to the books I did read all the way through. For a full list of the books I DNFed this year check out my blog post >>>

Basic Stats

• I read 23,867 pages over 63 books this year!
• When only counting the books I read all the way through – I read roughly 21,403 pages over 56 books.
• My average book length was 384!
• My average rating for 2020 was 3.6 stars! This stat shocked me as I thought I had rated more books higher this year than the last.

Genre Breakdown

So, no surprise to anyone but fantasy takes the lead this year with 31 books. I did branch out a bit more, genre wise, as I read some poetry and some non-fiction. Two genres I wouldn’t normally go for!

Genre	No. of Books
Fantasy	31! No surprise there!
Mystery	16
Science Fiction	5
Classics	3
Historical Fiction	2
Non Fiction	2
Thriller	2
Poetry	1
Horror	1

Format Breakdown

Again, no surprise that paperback is the most used format. What I am surprised by is the rise in the ebook format. I have recently deleted my Netgalley account due to the data breach that happened late December so I am not sure whether I will reach those record ebook numbers again.

Format	No. of Books
Paperback	31
Ebook	24
Hardcover	8

Age Group Breakdown

Again, no shock to see that Adult books take the lead. That being said, there has been a significant decrease in YA books this year. I didn’t have a great year with YA in 2019, so I was a bit hesitant about the age group this year. I do have a lot of exciting YA books to come next year though.

Age Group	No. of Books
Adult	51
Young Adult	8
Middle Grade	2
Children’s	2

So, there you. I do realise it’s a bit statistic heavy but I personally find it super interesting. The posts coming soon are less number heavy. But I am very proud with how well I have done this year.
