November 2023 Sources: 12/02/23

Previous month's book sources

With Thanksgiving and art deadlines I was kept busy. When I'm busy I don't read as much and what I read is mostly in the form of audiobooks.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In November I read 13 TBR books, down five from the previous month. One book was published in November. Three books were for research and there were no review copies. None were from the library. My ROOB score for November is -4, down from -3.86. It is my third best November in fourteen years of tracking.

The current year's data is represented by a triangle on the graph below.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -3.75 for November. My actual score was slightly lower, -4.0, because I mostly finished older books I started in October. For December, I'm once again predicting a -3.75 as there are some new audiobooks I want to listen to.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for November improved, going from -2.83 to -2.91.
