I finally figured out how to get my 2023 Storygraph wrap up to generate. And while I like it, it doesn‘t feature what I‘m most interested in. I love knowing I read 143! New to me authors and 160 books off my shelves although that stat includes books purchased in 2023. All in all a fantastic year in books.
Twelve months in 2023 led to this result: all the books I read in 2023. And now I‘ve shared all my wrap-ups and stats and will only look forward 😀
✨ december wrap-up ✨

- 5 5⭐️: the magician‘s nephew, the second chance year, the horse and his boy, prince caspian, the voyage of the dawn treader
2023 wrap-up!
I actually read 146 titles, Storygraph doesn't have some of the indie Canadian plays I was reading in 2023, but it's close enough! I'm glad funny made some gains on the dark slice, and I am entirely unsurprised that emotional and reflective are my top moods of the year!

#FestivePhotoChallenge Day 6: Wrap it Up. Got a jump on wrapping the kids‘ presents tonight! Can you spot the books? #selfiescavengerhunt #wrappingagift #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs
A busy week! So I‘m late on my November wrap-up, but it was a good reading month. 31 books read (no DNFs!), 14 of which were picture books; 17 non-fiction so I met my goal of half my books being NF for the month. 4904 pages puts it right in the middle of my months for this year. I‘m six books from my goal of 300 and ten owned books from my Mount TBR goal of 100. Both should be doable, despite a frenzied December heading my way.
November Wrap-up (since I failed to keep up with #bookreport and #weeklyforcast each week)
This was a slow month for me, no #bookspinbingo . I know the counts below seem like I read a lot, but almost 75% were children‘s picture books.
Total read - 25
Fiction - 20
Audio- 4
Graphic novel - 1
Children‘s book - 14
Kindle - 1
Non-fiction - 5
Audio - 1
Children‘s book -4
My August wrap up. Technically 8 read because I read the ebook for Why Not Me along with the audio which contained supplemental chapters. It was a pretty good month but I hit a slump towards the end and ended up making progress across several books instead of focusing on a couple to finish 🙃 #BookSpinBingo
April #BookSpin Wrap Up
April kind of kicked my butt. My kid had a 2 week quarantine due to Covid exposure which was a lot to handle while working from home. (No worries he‘s negative.) And I‘m in the middle of processing divorce paperwork and getting ready to move so it‘s been run run run with mot much reading time. I got 5 down this month which considering the length of The Secret History is not bad for such a busy month.
I won‘t finish anything else today, so this is my April wrap up. The top four are my favorites from this month, but looking at this image, I had a really good month. There were only a couple I really didn‘t enjoy. 14 books total, 9 #mountTBR, 5 #ReadingAsia2021, 4 for #Booked2021, 2 bails (not pictured) 💖 #AprilStats #AprilWrapup
I‘m super sad that I won‘t be able to finish either of my print books today because of work. 😭 I really wanted to head into April with a clean slate. I will finish my audiobook and I can‘t be too mad with my #marchstats. 4 books for #readingasia2021, 3 books for #booked2021, and 6 books for #MountTBR. 2335 pages and about 43 hours of audio. My favorites were the books for the library‘s #communityread2021, Ghost, & The Janissary Tree.
While I didn‘t read all of the books I wanted or originally planned to read, February was a busy month, thanks to 7 audiobooks. 2 books for #readingasia2021, 3 books for #booked2021, and 12 for #MountTBR. I also have 3 books carrying over into March. #februarywrapup #februarystats (The top 3 were my favorites and the rest of the books are in order from the ones I liked most to the ones I liked least.)
Reading in 2020 presented all sorts of challenges.
Lots of time at home, but home with small children isn‘t that conducive to reading.
Bookstores were closed but got a bunch of books from friends moving away.
Books where an escape from the crazy reality & a window into the racial injustice that plagues the United States.
I listened & learned & traveled & supported small businesses

https://rachelmansmckenny.com/2020/01/01/2019-wrap-up/
I'm most likely not going to finish another book this year so I'm calling 2019 closed! I had only 1 plan this year: read every day. #Booked2019 and #BBRC pushed me in directions I didn't expect and I'm so happy for it! Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a wonderful 2020! 😘🤗 #LoveYouLittens #ThankfulForYouALL

#Scarathlon #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid
I somehow read 66 books in September (mostly on audio), which is the most I‘ve read in a 2019 month (or any month, really) so far. 🤯 My favorites included Things You Save in a Fire and Till We Have Faces.
15 total this month for the #september2019reads
All were on my TBR, with only 2 being rereads. I had a good mixture of ARCs and already published novels.
Thanks to #24B4Monday and #SummersEndReadathon (hosted by the always awesome @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 and @Clwojick respectively) August was my second-best reading month this year!
4 DNFs (but some new space on the shelves)
23 books finished
5306 pages!
One of my goals for the remainder of the year is to hit 100,000 pages on the Litfluence counter, which is about 9k pages. At this rate it should happen Oct-Nov.
August turned out to be a great reading month, thanks to readathons and two weeks off of school. I finished 61 books (59 on audio), and some favorites were The Cactus, Of Fire and Lions, and Where the Crawdads Sing.
#SummersEndReadathon Wrap-Up
I‘m calling it at 76h21m, and in that time, I finished 20 books and made progress in another three. Especially given my fall semester started on Monday, I‘m incredibly happy with the amount of reading I got to do this week.
#24b4Monday Wrap-Up
I enjoyed the last few days before the start of fall semester. Almost 47 hours, ten books finished + progress in another three, and it was a fun bookworm-y weekend.
We‘ll see how many more books I can get in for #SummersEndReadathon now that I have to juggle my reading time with schoolwork.
My #JulyWrapUp. Not too shabby, all things considered 🤗🤗🤗
The three blocked out are ones that I read a couple months ago and didn't get added when I completed them.

#24b4Monday Wrap-Up
My mom‘s been in town this week, so I didn‘t make 24 hours—but we both sat around and read on Friday, so I still ended pretty close. So, twenty hours, five five finished books, progress in two others, and I‘m happy.
Today, #E is for the end of June—and every book I read during it. I managed to finish 57 books; some I liked a whole more than others, but overall, it‘s been a good month. #30junebooks
