It’s New Year’s Eve and over the past few days of holidays I’ve read my last few books of 2024.

When all is said and done, I wound up reading a fairly typical 75 books. Those who know me know I like to pay attention to who I’m reading as much as to what. So, by the numbers, those books were made up of:

  • 50.7% fiction / 49.3% non-fiction
  • 42.7% by racialized authors
  • 21.3% by LGBTQS+ authors
  • 74.7% by women or non-binary authors
  • 14.7% by straight white guys
  • I rated books, on average, as 3.84 out of five.
