Once again, 746books.com organized the 20 Books of Summer challenge from
June 1-August 31.
I’m not going to be able to finish another book today, so time has come from my recap.
I’m super happy with my results:
I ended up reading 37 books (22 in print and 15 in audio). I had read 28 in Summer 2020, so that’s a lot more.
That’s a total of 6,646 pages, actually 10,053 pages if I convert my audiobooks in print, which is an average of 109 pages/day.
Of these 37 books, 13 were from my original list!
From my original 20 titles, I DNFed 3 books and decided not to read one, as I realized it was actually horror, not thriller, and I don’t like horror as a genre.
I’m planning on reading my last 4 books from that list very soon.
A few more stats from the books I read this summer:
- manga: 3
- literary fiction: 3
- historical fiction: 3
- nonfiction: 9
- mystery: 20
19 titles were classics.
4 audio books were from the Old Testament – I’m done listening to all the books of the Old Testament.
9 audiobooks were for my project to listen to all of Hercule Poirot,
The biggest issue is that I reviewed very few of these books. I’m planning to do short reviews of them these coming weeks.
I would like to highlight a few favorites from this list, though so many were so good:
Here is the detailed file with the books I read:
Feel free to copy the format if it’s of any help for you.

Curious to see what you think. I stopped after The Hobbit and the trilogy, even though I liked it a lot

You made me laugh Emma. What part of “20” books of summer did you not understand??? At the rate you were reading, you almost completed it twice over 🙂

Well done! I actually managed to finish my 20, though I swapped two non-fiction diverse books from July out for two novels for August. Also read 23 other books during the period so happy with my summer!
