51 books in 2019 - 9 audiobooks
48 books in 2018
41 books in 2017
26 books in 2016
If you take away the audiobooks from 2019 I came out pretty much even with last year. I could have read more books this year but working lots and plenty of staring off into space contemplating this year kept me busy.
I don't have the same big stack of unread fiction books waiting for me in 2021 that I've had in past years, and I've got a lot of yoga/diet/nutrition/self help books laying around that I should either read or get rid of, and I'd realllllly like to pull myself out of this years long slump I'm in physically and emotionally, so it could be good to get into some of those.
