Although I tried to read outside my usual genres (YA & Fantasy), most of the books I read this year fell into one of those categories. I did branch out into biography, which I actually quite liked, and dipped my toe into the pool of crime fiction though I won’t be rushing back to that anytime soon.

How did you go with your book challenge this year? Did you try anything new or different?

*I’m only counting books I finished cover to cover, not partials or dnfs.
