#JenBsBooks ~ 2025

... at the end of each month, I grab the cover images of all the books I read and create a collage. I include the total number of books and the pages read. Sometimes I include some extra details. I also try to do an annual book review post with my other stats from Goodreads and Storygraph (when/if I get that done, I'll post a link). This is my little Online Library as I look back on what I read, and how many I can actually remember!

#JenBsBooks in 2024

I will be creating an annual review on my JenBsJourney blog for all the books this past year, featuring the Goodreads "Year in Books" and Storygraph stats. But here, and now, I'll do a collage compilation. I always enjoy glancing over all the covers, seeing which books stick out in my memory ...  All the books are rated and reviewed on both Goodreads and Storygraph. I'm JenBsBooks on both. 

JenBsBooks in 2023

If you know me, you know I love books. While I've gotten behind on the blogging, I have kept up on my books, making my monthly collages, rating and reviewing everything on GoodReads and Storygraph. I did a 2023~JenBsBooks on my JenBsJourney Blog, with a look at the year. On this blog post, I'll keep the collages created each month, all in a single spot...

I love looking back and seeing which books stick out in my memory, and which I can't even remember reading!

I joined Storygraph in January of 2023,

and love all the graphs and data it provides ...

The Storygraph pie charts have encouraged me to try harder in some areas ... to make sure I get in some non-fiction, not just fiction. I even did a NonfictionNovember challenge, where my goal was to make sure the non-fiction section was larger than the fiction for that month. In October, I manipulated the "moods" chart in honor of Halloween, seeing if I could shift the dark/tense/mysterious to the top. I've enjoyed adding in a few physical books, and making sure I get some BIG books (500+ pages) in too. Honestly ... the "pace" chart doesn't mean much to me, and I don't think I'll include it in my collages for 2024. 

All books are rated and reviewed on both Goodreads and Storygraph.

I'm JenBsBooks on both. 

JenBsBooks ~ 2022

 

I don't set any type of reading "goal" for the year ... I just read. I record, rate and review all my books on my Goodreads profile sh(e)reader. While I'm happy if my ratings/reviews help authors and others, I do them mainly for myself ... to remember what I read and how I felt about it.  There's a full post about my #JenBsBooks for the year on my personal blog. 

As each month ended ... I'd create a collage of the books I'd gone through that month. Here are those compilations. Remembering my reading.
