#storygraph wrap up time!đź“šđź’™
So pleased with my nonfiction reading this month. I’ve been aiming for it to represent a quarter of my yearly reading and the last 2 months are really helping w/ that goal.
Personal stats: 70% of the books I finished were #bingobooks this month and 2 of them made Bingos!🎉

A collage of all the books I finished in September. Gulp by Mary Roach, Colette Decides to Die Vol 2 & 3 by Alto Yukimura, The Upcycled Self by Tariq Trotter, Flamboyants by George M Johnson, Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez, The Spider and the Fly by Mary Botham Howitt & Tony DiTerlizzi, A Terribly Nasty Business by Julia Seales, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, and Legendborn by Tracy Deon.A calendar of all the books I read in September and when. The list is the same as the collage except for Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girls Win by Caitlin McGurk that I soft DNFed at the beginning of the month and the four books I haven’t finished yet. Those books are Map Art Lab by Jill K. Berry & Linden McNeilly, Whereas by Layli Long Soldier, Insectopolis by Peter Kuper, and Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan.The first page of stats. The top row shows the total of books finished (10), number of pages read (944), and hours listened (65.88). The next row shows the first (Gulp), the middle (Anita de Monte Laughs Last), and last (Legendborn) read in August. To the right is the average book length (284 pages) and average time to finish (4 days). At the bottom is a line graph of pages read/minutes listened across the days of the month. The highest point is minutes listened above the 500 mark on the 27th. Next is the day before half way between 500 and 250 minutes listened. All other points sit between a little over 250 and a little over 0. The biggest pages read days were the 5th and the 19th, all there are at 0 or slightly above.The second page is mostly pie charts. The top row compares fiction vs nonfiction (70-30), page count of books less than 300 vs the 300-499 range (33-67), and audiobook lengths of less than 8 hours vs the 8-15:59 range vs 16 plus hours (29-57-14). Below that is my most read genres bar graph with historical and fantasy at the top with 3 books and YA, Manga, and Mystery just below with 2 each. Right off that is the final pie chart comparing Audio vs Print books (70-30).
