We are at the halfway point of the year and so far I’ve Read
56 books 42 have been Audiobooks 14 Ebook or hardcover
Listened to 677 hours of audio
Read 5678 pages
23 Female Narrators
19 Male Narrators
32 Female Authors
24 Male Authors
Last year I noticed that I listen to way more Female
Narrators than Male I’m doing a pretty good job at getting these numbers a
little more even. I also tend to read more Female Authors than Male too and
wanted to get those more even too but as you can see I’m still reading way more
women than men.
So far my favorite books have been:
Every Fifteen Minutes by Lisa Scottoline narrated by, GeorgeNewbern (Goodreads Review)
The One That Got Away by Simon Wood (Goodreads Review)
See what I mean, out of these 10 books only 3 are by men and
only 2 narrated by men, and I don’t set out to read or listen to only women it
just seems to end up that way. Another point I think is kind of funny is all
these people out there saying “read more women authors” but I need to read and
listen to more men to make my reading diverse!
So I am going to really try for the month of June which is
Audiobook Month (but that’s every month for me) to listen to more male
narrators and read some more male authors. Wish Me Luck!
True, I see all the "read more women" but it just happens, most of mine are female authors too.
