In 2019 I participated in the Unread Shelf Challenge…sort of. I wanted to read 75 unread books that I already owned. I didn’t create a plan to accomplish this, and failed at it pretty miserably. But I otherwise had a pretty good reading year. Here are a few of my 2019 reading statistics.
Total Number of Books Read: 134
Total Number of Books Abandoned: 16
Of which 53 were audiobooks.
And 36 were books that I already owned.

Total Number of Unread Books Owned at Beginning of 2019: 375
(I’m not certain that this number is accurate. With my new Kindle Paperwhite, I can view how many unread Kindle e-books I own; whereas with my old Kindles, I had to rely on what I had organized in various collections. So I think that I was underestimating how many e-books I own.)
Total Number of Unread Books Owned at End of 2019: 633
