My Year in Books - 2024!!

Apparently I have read 91 books so far this year, according to Goodreads.  I've got one more that I need to add and write a review, which will probably happen tomorrow.

You can see the details of my 2024 reading life -- https://www.myyearinbooks.com/user/1991998.

91 books
29,964 pages
50,939 minutes
Mystery was my top genre - 53 books (no surprise there!)
April was the month I read the least amount and December I read the most
I read 4 Louise Penny books this year (also not a surprise)

The website that generated this data was developed by Grace D. Li's younger brother.  She is the wonderful author of Portrait of a Thief - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57021127-portrait-of-a-thief.   From her recent newsletter -- "For the second year in a row, my younger brother has coded his own version of a Goodreads Wrapped (available to all!). I am delighted both as a reader and as his sister, obviously — you can check it out at myyearinbooks.com for some fun + personalized reading stats."
