Gosh those figures are all really high! It’s interesting to see that you’ve read far more novels by female authors than male – I’m exactly the same. And yet there’s an equal number on bookshop shelves I think. 🙂

The Australian Women Writers Challenge weights it considerably Annie since that is what I mainly get sent..left to my own devices the numbers would probably be a bit more even

🙂 This year I’m hoping to complete a ‘rewind’ challenge and finish off all my pre-2014 books! So I understand.

Happy new year, Shelleyrae!
You read twice as much as me, but I had twice as many DNFs – look like you’re better at choosing books. 🙂
You did very well on your challenges. I unfortunately didn’t get further than 6/12 for the Eclectic Reader challenge, but at least, that’s 6 fewer books on my TBR. For the coming year I’m going to do just one challenge, a Dutch one. No more. 🙂
