2020 Roundup: Ebooks & Audiobooks

(Can't remember who I stole the stats format from, sorry.)

2020 Reading/Listening Stats
Books read: 48, of which 4 (8%) were rereads
By gender: 4 (8%) by men, the rest by women and other genders
By race: 2 (4%) by authors of color, the rest by white authors
New books: 4 (8%) published in 2020
New-to-me authors: 9
Did not finish: 1

I usually read more books than this. But I stopped being able to read (anything except fanfic) in April. Since I replaced reading with writing, I'm not feeling bad about it, except that there are series I theoretically want to keep reading that I'm not reading, and the books are piling up.

Audiobooks listened to: 25 (3 were re-reads) (did not count the ones I abandoned)
By gender: 9 (36%) by men, the rest by women and other genders
By race: 3 (12%) by authors of color, the rest by white authors
New books: at least 3 published in 2020
New-to-me authors: 11
Did not finish: 3

I did keep on listening to audiobooks all year. I didn't get through as many as usual because I usually listen while I drive, and I used to drive four to six hours a week, and starting in March I stopped doing that.

Dear Chocolatier

Dear Chocolatier:

Thank you for creating for me! My AO3 name is firecat

My number one want: I hope you create something you enjoy, and have fun.

I've included some prompts and likes in case you want something to start from, but it's fine with me if you want to go in a different direction.
