It's so pretty!!

Also we read about the same number of pages, which makes me happy for some reason? 'Cause book buddies. ALSO you did such a better job than I did re female authors. Also what are resolution books? Are they books you already own?

Yay book buddies!! (I picture us with like those Wonder-Twin rings.)

Resolution books are books that are either by someone who isn't white, who isn't from the US or was published before 2000. I feel like it should be SO EASY to hit, and yet I didn't break 50%. Though I got close so not too bad.

Your infographics are AMAZING! And your stats are facsinating. Good work on changing your reading patterns -- it's surprisingly difficult, even when you're actively thinking about the race/gender/decade/etc of the author and choosing books that way.

Thank ya! I spent an embarrassing amount of time on this thing but LOVE IT.

Changing reading patterns seems like it should be so easy and it is so not. Hopefully next year I can get to at least 50% resolution

I love your infographic! I've never kept track of how many pages I've read in a year -- is that all tracked on Goodreads? Or do you note it down as you go along?

Thank ya! I keep track of all the stats in a Google excel sheet as I go. I think for the most part the info is in Goodreads too but I don't know if I'm as good at keeping track of it in there, especially for re-reads.

Love the infographic! So pretty and very informative. Love that more than half your reads were female authors. I'm going to have to try this thing at some point.

It was def fun to make this thing (and free, which is always my fav). It did take awhile to make cos there is a LOT of flexibility but still fun.
