\"\"<\/a>It’s been another rough year, and a lot of things have fallen by the wayside, but as I enjoy looking back at what I read through the year, I’m going to make sure I get this round-up done.<\/p>\n

The crappy year does mean, however, that I have done a LOT of rereading. Additionally, I’ve been unable to focus, so I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks, which makes the number of rereads even higher (since I almost never listen to a book I’ve not read before).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As of right now, I’ve read 23 books published this year and 15 books published in 2023.\u00a0 67% of the books this year were rereads, which is a record for me (last year was 65%). <\/p>\n

But I was reading, so I shan’t berate myself for my obscenely large TBR pile.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, my ratings are based on my personal feelings about a book. It could be this was the wrong time for me to read a book, or it could be a book that is subjectively good but is really NOT for me (hello dystopias).<\/p>\n

The round-up will start (of course) with book covers, and end with my love of statistics.<\/p>\n
