Summary of 2019 in Books

Hey everyone! How are you today?

I thought it’d be fun to do a full summary of all the books I read in 2019.

I just want to say with my ratings they might be different from what I initially gave them because I’ve decided to round up or down to what I felt like fit them the most.

Total of Books: 74

Gender of Authors: (how many male and how many female)

Males – 8 books

Females – 66 books

*I read the Manga version/adaptation of the Count of Monte Cristo and this was done by females, although, it was originally a male author. I still counted it under the female category but thought I’d mention it.*

Seems as though I was drawn to more female works then men’s. I found the same thing when I listened to audiobooks.

Ratings

According to Goodreads I had an average rating of 4 stars and 1 DNF.

My highest books rated were:

• Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
• When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare
• Heartstopper Vol. 1 by Alice Oseman
• Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone by J.K. Rowling
• Heartstopper Vol.2 by Alice Oseman
• Cinder by Marissa Meyer
• Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
• Night of Cake and Puppets by Laini Taylor
• The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater
• Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin
• Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare
• Pestilence by Laura Thalassa
• Saga Vol. 1 & 2 by Brian K. Vaughan
• Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett
• The Surviving Trace by Calia Read
• Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell

My lowest rated books were:

• Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
• Heart of the Dragon by Gena Showalter
• Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (didn’t know what to rate it)
• Twilight: The Graphic Novel by Stephenie Meyer, Young Kim
• Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (DNF)

Genres

• Contemporary – 4
• Historical fiction – 14
• Paranormal – 6
• Dystopian – 3
• Autobiography – 2
• Graphic Novels – 8
• Mangas – 10
• Classics – 3
• YA – 12
• Sci-fi – 1
• Fantasy – 7
• Short stories – 1
• Poetry – 2
• Non-fiction – 1

This was harder to do than I thought as there were a few books that could meet multiple genres so I picked the ones that were more suited towards one than the other. Like some Manga’s I read were adaptations of classics but I counted it towards Manga’s (get it?)

Reading format

• Audiobooks – 6 books
• Physical reads – 44 books
• Kindle reads (e-books) – 23 books

Readathons

• O.W.Ls
• N.E.W.Ts
• Gilmore Girls Readathon
• Tis-the-Season-a-thon
• Currentathon

2019 was a really great reading year, in fact it might be my best reading year yet! I had so much fun, tried out new style of books and took part in readathons that I wanted to do last year!

Props to all bloggers who wrote a post like this and added pictures and even more detailed stats! This was fun to write but at the same time a lot so I kept it pretty basic!

Cheers to another amazing reading year and the reading years to come!

Until next time…
