2015 Statistic Survey – The Answers

Here are my answers for the 2015 Statistic Survey hosted by myself and Brittany (The Book Addict’s Guide):

• Number of books read…
  • Under 250 pages (not including novellas): 5
  • Between 400-449 pages: 15ish based on the Goodreads page count
  • Between 450-499 pages: 1
  • Over 500 pages: 6 (although one was a DNF so I guess 5)
  • Over 1000 pages: 0
• Number of…
  • Audiobooks: 10
  • Re-reads: 11
  • DNFs (did not finish): 2
• Number of books rated…
  • Five Stars: 20 (but some of these are 4.5 stars. Since Goodreads has failed us for another year with ½ stars I have to go with 20).
  • One/Two Stars:  No one stars as I DNF anything that will be that low. 8 2 star reads since I try to give them the benefit of the doubt too often.
• Number of authors met in 2015: A lot. I went to (BEA 1 & 2) & I moderated a panel at the Boston Teen Author Fest with Sarah (What Sarah Read) and one for Tiffany Schmidt and AC Gaughen. But I think meeting Sarah Dessen, Amy Ewing and Heather Demitrios were high up there for me.
• Number of book events attended in 2015: At least 4 I think.
• Number of books you read in one day: I think one this year. I didn’t have a really good reading year.
• Number of books that made you cry: 11 maybe. That is a guess though.
• Number of 2016 books you have on pre-order: 7 although I have already read 3 of the 7.

• Book read furthest away from home (vacation reads?): Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen when I went to Austin and San Antonio.
• Book that took you the longest to read: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. Thanks for that holidays.
• Book that you personally connected with the most: I don’t know that I personally connected to any one book but Twenty Boy Summer (a reread) is such a human story it is hard not to connect to it.
• Book that made you love the villain: None
• Book you said you’d come back to but still haven’t picked up again: None
• Book you read waaaay before it’s publication date: When We Collided by Emery Lord. I was asked to blurb the ARC so I read it about a year before its release.
• Book you read on your birthday: Play On by Michelle Smith
• Book with a character who shares your name: I can’t recall any of them having the name Andi or Andrea.
• Book you weren’t entirely truthful about when rating (Fluff up any ratings? Rated even though you didn’t finish?): The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick. I love Huntley and I love Tim the main character but I didn’t love the book as much as I rated it. I just couldn’t bring myself to go lower than 4 stars for it.
• Book you read in 2015 but already want to re-read: When We Collided.
• Book you borrowed from a friend a long time ago and still have: Black Heart by Holly Black.
