Reading Statistics, Reading Goal Review, and Every Book I Read in 2017!


One of the coolest things about reflecting on yearly reading is looking at your statistics and how they broke down throughout the year. I think it's so interesting to see how my reading progressed throughout the year and I feel like a lot of what the statistics tell me makes a lot of sense. I managed to read more when I had more time, and less when I had less time. Nothing too strange in 2017! Keep reading to see how everything breaks down AND to see every single book I read this year, including my star ratings and what goals or challenges they corresponded with.
