Hello everyone, and happy New Year! 🎉 I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s celebration 😊 Is it the middle of January already? Well, I guess I at least got this up in the right month 🤷♂️
Since I had a lot of work to do, and the holidays were busy this year, I didn’t get to post as much as I would have liked last year, but I’m going to get back into posting now that I’ve got a bit more of a routine going (we’ll see how this goes 😂).
My little spiel is done, and now that it’s 2023, it’s time for me to look over my reading stats for 2022! I’ve been tracking my stats through the StoryGraph for the past few years, so these are stats I got straight from there. If you hate GoodReads and want an alternative, the StoryGraph is for you (especially if you love tracking your reading stats). Plus I found it easily transfers all your GoodReads data.
Anyways, during 2022, I read a total of 52 books, and 50 was my goal for the year, so woohoo!

Page-wise, I read 12,940 pages, which I guess is a lot? I don’t know if that’s a lot for one year or not, but it’s pretty cool to know! 😂
I did read a lot of manga this year, so I think that skewed my stats a bit, but my top 3 genres I read were Fantasy, Manga, and LGBTQIA+.
Moodwise, I mainly read adventurous, dark, and mysterious stories.
And that’s about it for the stats! Below are all the books I read last year:

Now what is my reading goal for 2023? I only really care about setting a goal for total number of books read throughout the year, so that’s all I’ll set.
Let’s go with… 65 books 👌 See if I can beat my goal from last year, cause why not 🤷♂️ Currently, I am in the middle of two books, as I’m still reading The Well of Ascension (I’m aiming to actually finish it this year) and I recently started reading Howl’s Moving Castle.
What were some of your favorite reads from last year? Let me know in the comments below!
Otherwise, I will see you in the next post!
