What I read in 2024

During 2024 I read 24 books. I read 1 book less than 2023, but I achieved my goal (of 24 books) nonetheless 😎.

79% (19 titles) were in audiobook format and 21% (5 titles) were physical books. In addition to Audible, I also tried consuming books in Greek, this year. And it was an enriching experience. Here are the stats from previous years:

20242424 (100%)-4%
20232425 (104%)+47%
20222417 (71%)0%
20211517 (113%)+70%
20201210 (83%)+43%
2019107 (70%)+133%
201843

For 2025 I intend to keep my goal at 24 books. The reasoning behind that decision is explained to last year’s “what I read” 🤓.
