What I read in 2024

As we near the end of another year, it's time to look back on the books I read in 2024. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read at least 100 books, including re-reading some of my favorites, and I managed to read 102, the same number of books I read in 2023. (The graphic above shows 91 books because I didn't log the 11 books I re-read.)

As for the average rating for the books I read, if I exclude the re-reads, it was 4.04 stars, slightly higher than the 4.01 average from 2023's books read. The breakdown by star rating was:

• 5 stars - 30 books
• 4 stars - 35 books
• 3 stars - 26 books

If I include the re-reads, the average star rating for the books I read would jump to 4.15 since I would give them all 5 stars again. Overall, it was a very satisfying year of reading for me. Since I haven't decided yet how many of my favorite books I'll re-read in 2025, I don't know how 2025's ratings will fare.

In my next post, I'll list my top ten reads of 2024. Stay tuned!
