The Girdle of Melian

  ere is this year’s  Annual Books Read Statistics and Thoughts Post ! Here are the statistics for 2020 , 2019 , 2018 ,  2017 ,  2016 ,  2015 ,  2014 ,  2013 ,  2012 ,  2011  (and the  list ),  2010 ,  2009  (and the list ). I’m doing things differently this year, because this post has started to become data-heavy, and not all the items from previous years need to be repeated each time. The two main changes are as follows:     Most recaps of items from previous years have been deleted     The following categories have been removed: Shortest Book, Longest Book, Fluff but Fun (comic books, etc.), Books From the 19th Century and Earlier, and Books from 1900 to 1960   This post will be up over the holidays as I take a little break and hopefully catch up on comments! Books Read :  480 , including the following: 135 novels and anthologies 133 MG and YA 63 board books 62 essays and non-fiction and comics 46 short stories, fairytales, plays, and sample chapters 41 poems
