As I’ve only been blogging for a few months there doesn’t seem to be much point in a full blog review, but I thought I might look at my overall reading this year. And who doesn’t love a pictogram? No-one trustworthy, that’s who.
To begin with, here’s how my TBR at the start of the year fared:
My book-by-book breakdown of tree books and ebooks throughout the year looks like this, including the nine I borrowed having finally joined the library:
Prizes for anyone who can deduce from the above information the timing of my summer holiday!
Thirteen of those books were translations, which breakdown thusly by original language:
Author-wise, this is what happened for me in 2015:

Very visually pleasing post! Think my favourite pictogram is the first one and I must say you did well on reducing your TBR pile. Hoping to keep mine under control and stick to reading what is in the pile and not keep buying just that one more book…
This fellow “new blogger” is mighty impressed with your output so far! If nothing else, this blogging gig is making/letting me read more. Much of my TBR pile is virtual, but I recently purchased three actual books that I’ll be commenting on . . . And all because of you, JJ! Happy New Year!
Love your wrap-up post style! I am now envious and wondering what I have to do to come up with lovely graphics like that.
And, wow. Only 65 books on your TBR pile for 2016? I have something like ten times that staring at me. But that’s because I can’t resist book sales and I have a very generous husband when it comes to supporting my habit…. Happy New Year!
Wow, I’m just….wow. That is a lot of books, my sincere congratulations! Happy new year to you, too; I’m about to post something about how you’re every so slightly affecting a change in my blogging this year, and I’m hugely looking forward to it…

Bah, caution is for economists. Besides, you have an internationally-read blog now, so books are really more of a business essential than a luxury.

I’ll have to try that one on my mum next time she despairs at the amount of books in my room.
