I'm counting the DNFs as negative for the overall stats.

So, if you include each comic series as just one book, I read over 160 books last year, which is ridiculous! I didn't have much work overall in 2025 and I also started a BookTube channel and discovered reading challenges, so that probably accounts for it.

My positive rating overall has gone down a bit from last year - but I think that's because I've been reading, viewing and playing more diversely and trying to expand my horizons a bit, which is always going to be a risk, but I think is a good thing overall.

I'm going to *try* and be a bit more relaxed about my reading in 2026, but I can't imagine that will actually stop me from putting pressure on myself about it!
