    Total number of books read: 126
    Fiction: 100
    Non-Fiction 26
    Print (non-graphic): 73.75
    eBooks: 28.25
    Graphic Novels: 15
    Audio books: 8
    Total page count: 27287
    Male authors: 131
    Female authors: 22
    First book read: Old Flames by Jack Ketchum
    Last book read: Eternals by Neil Gaiman & John Romita, Jr.

    Please don’t bother adding up the numbers as they rarely work out perfectly. For example, the total number of authors will not equal the number of books read as some books had multiple authors. For audio books I looked up the page count for the equivalent print edition and used that number for the page count. Lastly, a few books I read partially in print and partially in electronic format hence the fractional count in those listings.
