Mid-Year Reading Check-In

My 2025 Reading Journal

Mid-year reading stats:

• Finished: 30
• Total pages read: 13,296
• Average page count: 443.2
• Average rating: 4.14

It’s time for a mid-year reading check-in! My goal this year is to read fifty books, and I’m on track to reach my goal with 30 books read in the first six months of 2025. If I keep up at this pace, I should read sixty books this year, but I’m not going to change my goal. The average page count seems high, but I have read a few massive books this spring.

The average rating seems pretty good to me, too! That means that most of my books have been four stars or higher. My favorite books so far this year have been The Power by Naomi Alderman, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and Scultor’s Daughter by Tove Jansson (click the links to read my reviews).
