Fun With Numbers

I read a lot last year.  An astounding 115 books!  I didn’t think I could read 100 books in a year, let alone 115, but I managed to get it done.

Here’s a breakdown of the ratings:

  • 11 books got 1 star
  • 20 books got a rating of 2 stars
  • there were 31 books that got 3 stars
  • 32 books got a 4 star rating
  • 20 books got 5 stars
  • the average rating over the last year was 3.33 stars

Here’s a few more random stats:

  • 72 books were from the library, 5 books were e-books and the rest (38) were my own books
  • 74 books were either children’s or young adult books
  • I have 4 books that were started in 2011 and will be finished in 2012
  • the highest monthly average was in November, with an average of 4.25
  • the lowest monthly average was in October, with an average of 2.63

And a monthly breakdown:

  • 1 book was read in January
  • 7 books were read in February
  • 9 books were read in March, June and July
  • 11 books for April
  • 13 books were read in both May and December
  • 15 books were read in August
  • An astounding 16 books were read in September
  • 8 books for October
  • And 4 books for November

Now that I’ve bored everyone with some stats, I should probably move on to actually reading that stack of books.
