I finished all my 2020 Wrap-up posts, so now it’s time to talk some stats! I thought I’d share some quick and fun reading facts from my Goodreads year in review. I always love sharing the stats along with my faves & disappointment lists, so I hope you enjoy!
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, you can check out my Goodreads Year in Review posts from 2017, 2018, & 2019 too!
TOTAL PAGES
62,977 pages. Which seems like it’s in my average range.
TOTAL BOOKS
170 books. A bit more than last year, but it’s not surprising to me because all I did during quarantine was read.
SHORTEST BOOK
Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid | 87 Pages
A perfect little novella with a big emotional punch.
LONGEST BOOK
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas
I loved this so much. What a fantastic world, with so much worldbuilding, and a perfect friendship – and some awesome action too!
AVERAGE BOOK LENGTH
AVERAGE RATING
3.4 stars. The first time ever it wasn’t 3.5.
MOST POPULAR BOOK I READ
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
I don’t know what my most popular book was because the book that it’s showing me, is one I took off my shelf, but I can tell you that A Man Called Ove has the highest number of ratings of any book I read in 2020 with 593, 653.
LEAST POPULAR BOOK I READ
Faking It by Rebecca Smith
573 other people have shelved this too. It wasn’t that good, so I understand the lower number.
BOOK I READ WITH THE HIGHEST GOODREADS RATING
The King’s Men by Nora Sakavic
With a 4.60 this was the highest rating of the books I read this year, which is shocking because while it is an adrenaline ride to read, it’s objectively not that good.
Book With the Lowest Goodreads Rating
The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich
With a 3.04 this was the lowest rated book I read all year, but I don’t think it was that bad. I mean, it wasn’t great, but I read much worse.
FIRST BOOK I READ IN 2020
We Used to Be Friends by Amy Spalding
What a great and heartbreaking friendship break-up story.
MY LAST READ OF 2020
A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir
I just double checked and once again, Goodreads was wrong. They said A Universe of Wishes was my last reviewed book (December 13th) but it’s actually A Sky Beyond the Storm on December 20th.
I’ll have my End of the Year tag up soon and then we can move onto anticipated 2021 books and other fun stuff!
Until then,
Life of a Literary Nerd 
I loved reading your post! And I love seeing other peoples goodreads stats. Also I think you’ve got a typo as for your first and last read it says 2019 instead of 2020!

Thanks for letting me know – sometimes I rush through a post and forget to proof-read.

I was looking at my 2019 post for question reference and I guess I just copied it over, lol.😆
