Mr H's Goodreads Year in Books 2020

 



So what a year of books! This is the second year doing a post of this kind and this year has so many more books read. I think it's great how Goodreads/Mrs H composes this breakdown of the books with the covers and everything on it.


40 books! 13,918 pages. I can't believe how many books I got through this year. So many of these were great books I got through 2 of the Mistborn trilogy, most of the Harry Potter series and one of my favourite reads Farmer Giles of Ham. I wonder what I will read in 2021... I doubt I'm going to get to 40 books.

Mrs' Goodreads Year in Books 2020



Okay, we're slowly but surely getting caught up! I know this is technically 4 months late but it's better than 6 haha! Anyway, last year I took my Goodreads 'Year in Books' and shared it here in one image so I could look back on it in the future and compare my reading habits. It's in no way a competition but I do like to beat something from the previous year's list be it the total number of books read, total pages or even longest book.
Click here to have a read of My Goodreads Year in Books 2019 and see below for 2020!



Looking back at last year's post I actually said I'd be happy with 40 books read so 62 books read?! Yay! 10 more than 1 per week is brilliant for me and with SO many good reads too - 3.8 is a pretty good average don't you think? Both of those numbers were higher than the previous year, though I didn't bypass my longest book as the year before was 702 pages!
This year my goal is set at 52 and I'm already behind (only by 1 but still), so I don't have high hopes of reading more than in 2020. As long as they are good books and I enjoy them that's obviously all that matters!

Mr's Goodreads Year in Books 2019


Hello there! Its been a while since I wrote a post here and I know its now February but here is my year in books! Me and Mrs H decided to use the Goodreads breakdown for these post as its convenient and looks great. I know compared to some bloggers/readers 24 books isn't alot but I am very happy with that number.





Look at all of those covers!! I read most of these books in the last 6 months of the year and I'm really happy with the amount of reading that was done. I'm in the middle of reading so many series at the moment and the plan is to get through all of them this year! I have set my Goodreads goal at 30 books for this year which I think is a good realistic goal for myself! We are both hoping to start posting on here more again so keep your eyes peeled for that!!

Mrs' Goodreads Year in Books 2019


On my old blog I'd wrap up everything I read and everything I watched (I watched a heck of a lot of movies!) at the end of each year. We have done quarterly summaries of what we've been reading here but I also wanted to do an overall yearly 'what I read' to not only keep a track but also to spur myself on for the reading year ahead.
I thought the best way to show this easily was just to share my Goodreads Year in Books! I really like the little breakdown they give you so as short and sweet as this post will be, here it is...













27 books isn't bad. Definitely nothing to be snuffed as that's over double the months in a year, but it's certainly less than I'd have liked to of read and compared to the 43 I read two years before. Still, we didn't actually start properly getting in the reading swing until after we moved house at the end of June. So... according to my finish dates on Goodreads, only 7 of the 27 were read in the first 6 months of 2019 meaning the remaining 20 were read in the last 6 months.
If I can do 20 in 6 months for 2020 and hit 40 overall for the year I'll be very happy indeed!
Look out for Mr H's year in books post coming soon!
