My social media is full of Spotify Wrapped and Duolingo Wrapped, and there is chatter about Pagebound end-of-the-year statistics, and it made me think of why reading stats matter (to me). I mean, it's cool to know how many pages/books I read, but beyond that, I ask myself what I really want from my reading statistics, or how they might help, or what would be the most interesting to know. Do you have anything that you specifically want to see when you get "wrapped" numbers?

One of the things I can think of is seeing how diversely I read. I have a sense that I rad a "lot" of queer books this year, but no sense of what "a lot" is compared to all my reading. Or how diverse the authors are (in terms of background, or country, or language). I also like to see how many genres I ventured into, and what genres I might be missing out on.

Any thoughts? What do stats mean to you?
