Yearly book logging

[korafox]

It is my birthday, so it is time once again to empty out the Book Vase (I write every book I finish on a slip and put it in the vase over the course of the year).  This year, my goal was to read more female authors/editors and a wider variety, and that was a resounding success.  My totals for the year:

33 for the women (among 25 authors), 16 for the men (and 1 unknown, since I'm not giving Rick Castle credit for writing Heat Wave)---a grand total of 50 BOOKS.  I probably could have gotten to 1/week average, but I've had absolutely no headspace for reading, this month.

Next year, I will probably try to read more non-fiction, since I have never ever been interested in that side of the library and I'm probably missing out.
