I going to start posting review's again. Things got busy but I hope to get back to a more normal posting schedule. 
missingvolume: (Default)

 

Looking back I forgot to do a post for 2023 but checking the 2022 post I’m keeping to slightly over half my reading is review copies mostly from Edelweiss and NetGalley.  I am getting more audio review books and more audio from the library.  I need to pick up more nonfiction besides cookbooks. I did read several but didn’t bother to review any of them.  I didn’t review much that I bought but I didn’t add in the personal copies that I had read in review version first.  Definitely using my library card to its fullest potential.

missingvolume: (reading sexy)
Looking back at the years I tried to see what I read I stay consistent in that close to 2/3 of my reading is review copies. I read much more from Edelweiss than NetGalley. I still use the hell out of my local library system for audio books. Almost all the audio was from the library. I only had one book in audio that was an ARC. I only had a handful of books this year that I reviewed that were purchased by me or part of a Patreon that I use. My library usage isn’t all audio since I continue to check out cookbooks but review them much since it is a bit harder to review it if I don’t start cooking out of it while I have my hands on it. I am reading more romance or romantic fantasy books, and this seems to be cutting more into the mysteries that I read. I hadn’t read as many mysteries as I used to. That might change since I’m several books behind on one mystery series. I will say this year I did pretty much had all my reviews written in the same year even if I missed posting by a few days. I do wonder what the new series for me will be to find and binge on. The ones I did that on were in audio format much like in 2021 when it was the year of Joe Ledger books. I do listen to rereads in audio so I don’t review them again, so my library stats are higher than they appear in my posted reviews. I just wish that several things I would like to listen to were not locked into the Audible only format.

I don’t think I have done one of these for a few years. But looking at the last one I did for 2018 I am still reading about half review copies. I swear it is more than that, but my quick count could be off.  I did notice that almost everything I listened to on audio for 2021 was from the library and that makes sense since I didn’t buy any audios last year.  I didn’t bother to review any of the cookbooks I checked out of the library since I seem to just dip in them and flip through looking for some inspiration instead of reading cover to cover. I did review one cookbook but it was more of a technique to riffing off of recipes instead of only recipes. I read enough novellas this year that I feel good about filling out my ballots for the year.  Granted I read almost no short fiction unless it is in a themed anthology and those never seem to hit ballot.  I did hit my reading goal of 80 books and I can point to Jonathan Maberry’s Joe  Ledger series for sending me way over my goal this year thanks to binging on the audios.

Overall I think I did pretty well and now I am only six books behind for reviewing for 2022 books. Now to wonder about what older series I will get into this year and completely binge on.

So I am down from last year but I didn’t count all the short stories I read that were not in collections. I did listen to several audios that I had not read the book before so that was new for me this year. My nonfiction is down, and I need to fix that at some point., granted a lot of nonfiction I read is food related. My novella reading was way up so I think I’m pretty well covered for the Hugo voting in that category. Slightly over half of what I read were review copies of some type and at leas this spring is looking to be nothing but reviews to catch up with everything I requested. I did binge on a new to me series and it was hard not to read them all at once.
