Halfway through 2016 already! I'm quite curious to see how my numbers turned out for this quarter of the year, since I had a baby during it! So far, my reading hasn't suffered too terribly much, I don't think - mostly thanks to the wonder of audiobooks!
Books read: 36
Pages read: 9,307 (This is mostly due to finishing War and Peace at the beginning of April.)
Fiction: 67%
Nonfiction: 33%
Male authors: 33%
Female authors: 67%
Books I own: 19%
From the library: 81%
Audiobooks: 28%

Favorite books this quarter: My nonfiction selection would have to be Among the Janeites by Deborah Yaffe. Lots of Jane Austen love, and it's just a fun book. Fiction is going to be a tie between The Midnight Queen by Sylvia Izzo Hunter and Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger (which, by the way,, is awesome on audio.)

So my take-away from this is that I need to read more books that I own. My library use has gone way out of control! Which is actually the opposite of what I expected to happen when I had a baby. . . Strange. On the plus side, I've listened to 10 audiobooks this quarter, which is about as many as the last three years combined.
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how this quarter has gone. How is your 2016 reading going so far?
