Notes:

  • Works include novels, manga, comics, short stories and picture books.
  • There are around 600 works that weren't included because they don't have a date of when they were added.
  • Top recommenders: r/fantasy, r/books, Jack Edwards
  • Priority: Top signifies the ones that are next in the queue. (rarely do I read something if it's not in there)
  • Publication language: I read in English and Spanish, but the vast majority is in English (my 2nd language)

  1. Source: Google Sheets spreadsheet

    Tools: App Script to generate the stats, Canva for the design

  2. My flaw is looking at my reading list, heading to the library, and checking out a completely different book I came across while browsing. And my list gets longer and longer.

  3. Love the graphic. Very clean and easy to read. 

    I feel like data tracking has gotten too out of control. Goodreads, letterboxed, etc are cool tools, but there’s become so much focus on quantifying our hobbies. This isn’t a dig at you, OP – just a general comment that applies to most of us. 

  4. Great design! Clean spacing, simple display.

    Thoughts:

    No separate color needed for this year. I’d scrap the text blurbs and have that in your comments, not the data display. Title is too long, especially with font style. Maybe a play on where you’re posting – Readit?

    Maybe consider adding a line to your column chart, for books read? Because that is my natural follow-up with your display. Easy counter argument to this being your focus is on your influx of recommendations.

    Again, nice delivery!

  5. That’s an awesome work, congrats OP. Do you mind share your TBR list? (If you have it in a goodreads or stuff like that).
