December 2019 Sources: 01/02/20

Previous month's book sources

December was a busy month with an art commission and holiday planning. The commission meant I needed a library book for research. Total reading numbers were up despite being busy but the ROOB score wasn't as good.

ROOB Score for the last three years

I read seventeen TBR books, and two published in December. Eight books were for research. Two were from the library. My ROOB score was higher by .34, which means a trend in the "wrong" direction.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

At the end of 2019, the ROOB trendline continues downwards. December 2019 was the second best December ROOB score since I started tracking these metrics. I hope January continues this trend.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for December improved from -2.56 to -2.65.
