This year I have decided to keep a closer tap on the stats of what I am reading. Who is writing it, who are the protagonists, what genres am I reading etc. I will keep this post up to date and put a link in the menu. In the start of the year it probably isn’t very interesting but I hope it will be interesting (at least for me) to see how t develops over the year. Comics are only included on the author list and on the graph with type of work, because I simply read too many. Perhaps I will do a separate post on the comics.

What did I read

A list of all the works I have read in 2014 @ goodreads & you can see a list of all the short stories here

Type of work

Genre

What genre was the novels, if I only had to pick one per book

When was the work published?

Includes both novels and short stories

Authors

Novel new authors: Stephen Baxter, Jacqueline Koyanagi, Mats Strandberg, Sara Bergmark Elfgren, Brenda Cooper, Naomi Novik, Katherine Addison (Sarah Monette), Robert Jackson Bennett, Patricia Briggs

Novel authors I have read before: Carrie Vaughn, Charles Stross, Terry Pratchett, Tanya Huff, Ramez Naam, Kim Harrison, Seanan McGuire, Laurell K. Hamilton, Ilona Andrews, Mary Robinette Kowal, Faith Hunter, Diana Rowland, Jim Butcher, Lisa Shearin, Ann Leckie, Gail Carriger, Jacqueline Carey, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Ben Aaronovitch

That means that this year I have read 9 new authors and 19 authors’ work that I have read before. So I have take a chance on almost 1/3 of the novels this year.

The author stats are only on the novel and short fiction writers, not the comic ones (there are simply too many I keep forgetting to track them) and I decided not to list short story authors here or in the stats. You can see the short story stats here. I have included single author collections in the stats here as well as in the short story stats.

I am only doing statistics on the novel protagonists so far.
