Hello!
It has been a while! I took a bit of a break from doing wrap ups because I was getting a bit burned out rushing to do it at the end of every month. I decided after February’s wrap up that I was just going to do a six month one and a end of the year one.
So let see my reading stats for the past six months!
Reading Stats from January-June:
Books Read: 314

- New: 218
- Re-reads: 96

As you can see, I have been a bit better this year at reading new to me books instead of just rereading everything. I am trying very hard to get my TBR down but its slow going and I do get distracted.
Formats:

- eBooks:199
- Hardcover: 2
- Paperback: 1
- Audiobooks: 39
- Graphic Novels/Manga: 56
- Webcomic: 3
- Bonus Shorts: 14
Lots of graphic novels and audiobooks so far for this year. I participated in Graphicsathon in February which really pushed me to read a lot.
Sources:

- Purchased eBook: 132
- Purchased Book: 9
- ARCs: 40
- Library: 50
- Kindle Unlimited: 21
- Purchased Audio: 19
- Audible Borrow: 6
- Free Online: 30
- Webtoon: 1
- Shonen Jump: 6
As you can see a lot of my reading so far this year has been through purchased ebooks, the library and ARCs. I didn’t realize I had read 40 ARCs already this year.
Ratings:

So far I have mostly read books I have enjoyed. A few that were under 3 stars but better than previous years. I have gotten better at picking books that I will most likely enjoy.
Pages:

As you can see, February was my highest page count and March was my lowest page count.
Listening time:

As you can see, I have been listening to a lot of audiobooks. June was my biggest audiobook month because I listened to the whole Percy Jackson series, which was fantastic.
Genres:

As usual, paranormal romance is my most read genre. Urban fantasy is second, and contemporary third.
Tropes:

Look I know LGBTQ isn’t a trope but I mark it as a trope because I want to know if the LGBTQ romance is a paranormal, contemporary, etc. So its my most read trope right now, with chosen ones and fated mates tied in second, and alien abduction in third.
Most Read Author:

So my most read authors so far are Anna Hackett, Jeaniene Frost, Ilona Andrews, and Maz Maddox. Its been a year of rereading my favorite authors and I don’t regret it.
