Yes folks, here we are again for those of you interested in my reading stats for the previous year. From the looks of it I read a fewer number of titles, and a fewer number of pages than in 2013. I’m mainly blaming the significantly higher number of comics I read this year, which I did not keep track of. However the numbers are up significantly for graphic novels and I read nearly twice as many books by/including female authors over the previous year. My reading habits still lean heavily toward male authors, but I’m aware of the discrepancy. If you’re interested in what books I read, most of them can be found on my Books Read in 2014 Pinterest board. (The 2015 board is up and awaiting its first pin for those wanting to keep track in 2015.)
