Thirty-seven years of tracking my reading: 06/08/24

Thirty-seven years of tracking my reading

It's that time again, when I reflect on my decades long determination to track my reading. Since 1987 I've been tracking my reading. My tracking years run from June 9th to June 8th of the next year. Today ends my thirty-seventh year of tracking. To read more about the reasons, see 2019's post.

I am on my thirteenth page of my fourth handwritten volume. Last year I noted that I didn't have an accurate account of how many books I'd read because of misreading numbers at various points in my recording process. I spent this last year doggedly in putting all my read books into a spreadsheet I had started in 1995. I now have an accurate count for the first time in years.

As predicted three years ago, I have hit 10,000 things read. While they are mostly books there are some articles and short stories too. I now know that I reached 10,000 books on January 23, 2024 when I finished The Black Holes by Borja González (2018), a Spanish graphic novel.

My first book for year 37 was Death Knells and Wedding Bells by Eva Gates and Elise Arsenault (Narrator) (2023). My last book was Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep Liz Kessler (2004) which I will review later this month or in early July.
