It's too late to start tracking that, though. A number of these were library books that have since gone back.

I've been meaning to do page stats for a while, but never have.How many re-reads? Oh, yes, there it is, 23/31. Good oh on male/female author stats.

Yeah, I reread a LOT. But I do enjoy new-to-me books too; March (as you will see) has proportionately more of those, as I've been frequenting the library more often. Though I've just started re-reading Stephen King's seven-book Dark Tower series, so, hmm…Re male/female, that's not something I plan, just something that happened. I do want to also start keeping track of distinct male/female authors (rather than books by) as I think that will give a different picture. Like for February, I have nine distinct male authors and four distinct female authors.
