Total Books Read – 257 (No audio books were completed this year)
Month with most books read – August (37) (I was sick for most of August so this is not surprising.)
Month with least books read- November (14) (I was traveling through East Africa on bumpy roads that made it hard to read, so again, not surprising.)
