audible sent me an email this morning and it said:

In 2024, you clocked in 470 hours and 33 minutes of listening time, played 117 titles and your longest streak was 48 days in a row.

That, of course, doesn't mean I read - or listened to - 117 books this year, as more than 70 of those are episodes of Sherlock and Co podcast, I am still impressed that on average I spent more than an hour a day enjoying a good story. Adding to that the 10 or so physical books I read, I am very happy with my 2024 in books.

What about you?
 
I listen to audio books on Hoopla or Libby. Not sure if they have statistics like this or not. But, I have clocked a lot of "reading" hours, too!
 
I listened to 7 books on Audible and read 54 books I hadn't read before. Goodreads doesn't give you credit for re-reading a book.

oh, they so totally should... do you know how many you reread in addition to the 54 news ones?

You are quite a reader! Do you read paper books or Kindle?
 
I've never listened to an audio book before.. While scrapping I often have a podcast on...
Until about 10 years ago I hadn't either. It all started with an audiobook I got for the kids to listen to in the car on the way to and from school. And that made me realize why kids love being read to - especially when the reading is done by voice actors.

I use a Kindle. Paper books are less convenient and font sizes are not variable. lol I can't say how many books I reread. Whenver I'm eating if David is not here, I am reading a book. :)
 
I read 71 books last year. It's always a mix between physical books and ebooks.
I cannot listen to audio books as my mind wanders off in all different directions and I lose the plot.
