MarthaJeanne in 2014 - general statistics

Change from 2013.
This year I will do 14 X 14 for fiction, which will be all fiction, English or German.

Nonfiction in English and German will be 10 X 10, and I still hope to fill 10 X 10 Overflow as well.

I seem to be signing up for a lot of group reads.

So far I have only investigated books in the first quarter, but a few others have come to my attention as well. It seems to make sense to read books that I can easily get if there are group reads.
Second quarter has a lot fewer in it.

I am also scheduling my personal NT Wright read here.

The fiction is low, and I won't make the challenge at this rate. Poor me, I'll just have to force myself to read more fiction!
The nonfiction in both English and German is on track.

It would be nice if February were even one day longer, as I expect to finish Matthew tomorrow - along with 4 commentaries. That would give me a nonfiction category, too.

Right now it is not clear that any of these will finish, but there are still 4 months to go.

BTW, Last year at this time I had read 317. I'm reading less this year, so it is not surprising that the challenges are doing worse, too.

Wow! I'm amazed and impressed at your stats so far this year, MJ! Congratulations!

As I have explained many times before, I am not only a fast reader, but I have chronic health issues, and end up spending a lot of time lying down between other activities. Books are a good way of keeping busy while my body can't.

It's actually a good sign that I'm month behind last year. I've probably been more active.

I know, but still, that's an impressive number, regardless of circumstances. You may be my Book Reading Hero! And yay that you've been more active this year compared to last - that's fantastic news!!!

That's 13, of which 6 are at 14. I can probably finish this fairly well.

1 Religion and Bible
2 N. T. Wright
3 People and Society
4 History
5 Food
6 Needlework and crafts
7 Biography
8 Other

That is 8. This will finish.

1 Biographies
2 Austria
3 Children's Nonfiction
4 Cookbooks
5 People and Communities
6 Religion
7 Art and Science
Other

The German nonfiction is also at 8. It is still doable, but I need to watch my book selections and move things around a bit.

English nonfiction is finished! The other two are close.

Bump

Congratulations!

The German is finished as well, although I want to clean up the categories still.

I was able to get clean categories for Fiction (14x14) and for German Nonfiction (10x10). English nonfiction is left with an 'other' category, but There are several half categories: food, science, India...

I'll finish the year's statistics in the morning.

Happy New Year!
