2023, 2020, and 2019 book censuses

[roadrunnertwice]

I was looking back to check something, and it turns out I never posted a book census for the years of 2019 and 2020. It was a very distracting time! Anyway, what I actually want to post is a diagram charting the ups and downs over time, but I don't have time to make that at the moment, so I'm just gonna get the raw info up.

With this missing info filled in, the picture I already perceived becomes a bit clearer: the pace of my reading cratered in 2020 and has not yet recovered, although 2022 was an especially bad year and seems to have been an outlier.
