Hello readers! It’s officially 2025, so it’s time to reflect on our reading journeys in 2024. What goals we hit or missed, our most-read authors, remembering what books made us cry, gasp, or laugh, and all the other fun stats.

Fun Stats
- I read 23 books
- I read 8,962 pages
- My average time to finish a book was 12 days
- 61 percent of the books were between 300-499 pages
Graphs
Here is the monthly breakdown for books and pages read. February, September, and November I read my highest number of 4. In June, August, and October I read nothing.
Here are the genres I read the most. By far my highest was fantasy with 12 books but honestly, that’s expected. What’s different this year is the addition of horror and thriller to the graph. I really started getting into those genres in 2024 and discovered I love them.
Here are the authors I spent the most time with in 2024. Sarah J. Maas held my heart while I read 6 books of hers, all from the Throne of Glass series (I am currently reading ‘Kingdom of Ash’). Freida McFadden is the person who got me into the thriller/mystery genre and it shows with 5 of my books being from her. Stephanie Garber came in 3rd with 3 books, I read the entire ‘Caraval’ series.
My Top 5 Reads
- What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
- Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas
- The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden
- Caraval by Stephanie Garber
Shortest and Longest Reads
Shortest: 47 pages
Longest: 693 pages
And Finally…every book I read in 2024
Conclusion
I didn’t get to read as many books as I expected, and I even had to lower my book goal number halfway through the year. Even though I didn’t accomplish my original goal, I can say I had lots of amazing reads this year and opened myself up to some new genres. It’s all numbers and i’m excited for another year of great books.
