In Retrospect: My 2025 Reading Year in Review

 My 2025 reading year went amazingly well. I read a total of 2oo books and read the most pages I have ever read in a year 57,683 pages. There were so many incredible books I found during the year. This post has my statistics for the year and also all of the goals I wanted to complete. I will be doing a couple of more posts for the end of the year, including a 2025 Reading Year in Review slideshow which gives a visual to all of the information below and some more. 

 Cannot wait to see what great books I find in 2026.
