I read and loved Ellie’s post on her book stats for the first quarter of 2018, and couldn’t resist looking at some of my own! I haven’t tracked the books that have come in like she has, but I’ve enjoyed looking at the series statuses and lengths of what I’ve read so far.

Reading Goals (5)
- Read 100 books – 33/100 – ON TRACK
- Finish/catch up with 15 series
I haven’t worked out the exact number of these yet, but two-thirds of the books I’ve read in series are book 2 or later, so I think this is going pretty well.
- Read at least 12 manga volumes or graphic novels – 5/12 – ON TRACK
- Get My NetGalley ratio up to (and then keep it above) 80% – 73% as of end of March
- Read at least 48 backlist books – 29/48 – ON TRACK
