Books I read this year: around 60, which I'm happy with ("around" because I'm never sure how to count novellas, longer short stories etc.) I read the most books in March and November and fewest in June and September, but I'm pretty sure I read roughly the same amount of words each month, just the distribution between original and fanfic was different.

Some stats: of the books I read 45 were by women, 12 by men, 3 by a non-binary author. That surprised me a bit when I realized, it wasn't on purpose at all, but apparently women just write more interesting books.
I think that 11 or more of the books were written by PoC, but I'm not sure about all of them and definitions are difficult anyway.
I also read only 4 books in German. Huh.
This is connected to the genres I read: 41 fantasy books, 9 supernatural romance, 7 science fiction, and just 2(!) other. Less science fiction than I would have guessed, and more supernatural romance for a genre where I almost only read books from authors whose fic I love.

Favorite books read this year: Musketeer Space, The Fire's Stone, TAZ: Here There Be Gerblins (one of only two comics I read), Bloodrights, Power and Majesty, The Aeronaut's Windlass.
Book I most look forward to in 2019: "Children of Ruin", the sequel of "Children of Time" – more space spiders, yay!
