-Where I got the books from
-What format I read the books in
In 2021, I had the usual suspects, as to what formats I read-physical book, and ebooks. But this year, I also started reading audiobooks, so there were a few of those sprinkled in there!
Hardcovers: 48, down 18
Paperbacks: 61, up 1
Mass Markets: 24, up 6
Ebooks: 453, up 9
Audiobooks: 13
Graphic Novels: 23, up 16
Books that I Bought After Read:
Bought Hardcover: 9, up 3
Bought Paperback: 13, up 8
Bought Mass Market: 23.5, up 11.5
Where I Got the Books From 2021
The sources of where I got books are primarily bought in 2021, owned previous to 2021, NetGalley, Edelweiss, Ebook.bike, and then a few tour books, and one or two review books.
Bought in 2021: 15
Bought After Read: 36.5
Owned Prior to 2021: 119.5
NetGalley: 91
Edelweiss: 86
Ebook.bike: 247
Online: 52
Tour Books: 4
Review Books: 4
Miscellaneous: Won: 1, Library: 19
I have 2 books that I own as a physical book that are collection of 28 stories that I counted just once each, even though there's the 28 stories.
I had 5 books that I got though Edelweiss, and 6 books that I got through NetGalley but that I owned prior to 2021, so I put them in both sources.
I had 8 books that I got through NetGalley, and 5 books that I got through Edelweiss, and 21 that I got through Ebook.bike, that I bought in 2021 that I read before I bought, so I put them in both sources.
I had 1 books that I got through NetGalley, and 2 books that I got through Edelweiss, that I bought in 2021 that I bought before I read, so I put them in both sources.
I had 1 books that I got through NetGalley, and 5 books that I got through Edelweiss, that I got through the library, so I put them in both sources.
I had 1 book that I got through Edelweiss and the Library, that I owned prior to 2021, so I put it in all 3 sources.
I had 1 book that I got through Edelweiss, that I won, so I put them in both sources.
I had 1 book that I bought in 2021 before I read it, and I read it twice in 2021 so I only counted it once.
I had 0 NetGalley Books, and 2 Edelweiss Book, and Ebook.bike, 1 book that I owned prior to 2021, and 1 book that I bought in 2021 before I read it that had a short story in the back, which counted as 0.5
I bought 1 book as an ebook, the rest I got as physical books.
Books I Bought in 2021 Stats
So the books I bought in 2021 for myself (I'm not counting gifts) that I paid for this year, I'm glad that I added every book that I purchased in 2021 in a spreadsheet, and I can't wait to continue in 2022!
Books Bought New: 159 from Store 1, 5 from Store 2, 2 from Store 4, 6 from Store 5, 16 from Store 8, 2 from Store 10, 2 from Store 13, 3 from Store 14, for a total of 195 which is down 102. Of those, I had or have read 129, and haven't read 66.
Books Bought Second Hand: 48 from Site 1, 6 from Site 2, 111 from Store 7, 20 from Store 9, 26 from Store 11, 23 from Store 12, so 234 total which is down 18. Of those, I had or have read 131, and haven't read 103.
So total, I bought 429 books which is down 119, with 260 read which is down 52, and 169 unread which is down 67. Compared to last year, I bought less, but this year I was tracking it, so maybe I did buy less in 2020, but just didn't know it. But again, my bought read books outnumber my bought unread books, which is always good! Especially since I bought less unread books this year than read ones! And I bought way less new books, and a few less used books, so I'm happy with that decrease! But again, I hope this balance stays about the same in 2022!
Series Continued and Unfinished 2021 Stats
So the series I started prior to 2021 and haven't caught up to what's been currently published are:

A-Z Reading Challenge Update 62
So I read my next book for 2021, and it was Feuds.
Here's the link to this year's post with my journey.How it Works:
Read 27 books this year (easy right) One for each letter of the alphabet and one starting with an Arabic number. If there aren't any unread books for the difficult letters, then a book that has a title with that letter in it counts.
Once all the letters and the number have been read, it's time to start again!
21 Books to Read in 2021 Update 16
Yeah, I read my next book for the 21 Books to Read in 2021 Challenge!
So I read Feuds by Avery Hastings from the NetGalley List!
Yep. Happy reading!
Here's the link to this year's post with my journey.
But to recap, I wanted to do a version of These Books Will Self Destruct in 12 months without the self destruct. I wanted to read books that I've had for a while, that I really needed to get read, but maybe I forgot about them or that I had them. So I made 3 lists, one for each way I have them, as physical books, as an NetGalley ARC, and as an Edelweiss ARC.
Book Blogger Hop #221, December 31st
Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
The Question of the week is: What bookish things did you receive for Christmas? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
I got a package of magnetic bookmarks! But I usually don't get bookish things during Christmas. Besides what I buy myself, always! What about you guys? Happy reading!
First Lines Friday #555, December 31st
First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie of Precision Reviews. We encourage all of our fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.
-Grab your current read(s)
-Share the first line(s)
-Include the title and author so that other FLF participants can add the book to their TBR Lists!
"Shane's lips felt like velvet against the nape of her neck, and Claire shivered in delight as his breath warmed the skin there. She leaned back against him with a sigh. Her boyfriend's body felt solid and safe, and his arms went around her, wrapping her in comfort. He was taller than she was, so he had to bend to rest his chin on her shoulder and whisper, 'You sure about this?'" -Last Breath by Rachel Caine
-Grab your current read(s)
-Share the first line(s)
-Include the title and author so that other FLF participants can add the book to their TBR Lists!
This is very suggestive! I've continued, and it's not what this implies what it is about! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Another round missed, though this time I didn't sign up and didn't participate, I just didn't know that it was going on. Oh, well, I know this time! Can't wait to participate! As always, my goal is 10 books!
What about you guys? Happy reading!
Page-a-Thon January 2022 Sign Up
So I'm signing up for the Page-a-Thon again, this time taking place during the month of January. Check out the Google Form here! I'm part of Team Air, because I'm a Gemini.
I'm on the ball for this! I official signed up with their form pretty close to when it opened up, and I'm just posting about it now, but it's still December 2021, so I made it in time!

In twelfth-century England, St. Jude's Abbey is no ordinary sanctuary of prayer and ritual. Established by Eleanor of Aquitaine, it trains young women in the knightly arts. In times of trouble, these formidable women are called upon to protect the royal family and England.
Isabella de Montfort's talents lie not in the knightly arts, but in science. So she's surprised when Queen Eleanor assigns her the task of retrieving some incriminating papers that could destroy the prince and start a brutal war.
To help Isabella on her journey, the abbess of St. Jude's sends along her nephew, Jordan le Courtenay, a knight who lost his lust for battle when his best friend was killed in a joust. But soon Isabella inspires in Jordan a passion for the world around him — and a dangerous longing for her.
Why the time hasn't come yet...
I still haven't read book 3, and it's been a long time since I read the first two books, so I might need a reread, but I'm pretty sure that I own it, so I really need to read it! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Waiting on Wednesday #555, December 29th
Expected Publication: January 14th, 2022
From Goodreads:
Jamie feels like she’s playing a game of Clue, one she’s determined to win. Where’s a candlestick when you need one?
From Goodreads:
Three modus operandi to die. Four employees, six house guests, and not a single witness.
Confusing clues and no helpful leads cloud the death of Countess Giada Barese, who washed up on shore two weeks after her mysterious disappearance. Henri and Jamie have no idea if her death is a homicide, suicide, or accidental death, for nothing adds up.
There is something strange going on, though, Jamie’s sure of that. The countess was found wearing mismatched slippers, her lover disappeared the next day, and everyone is acting shifty.
Expected Publication: January 18th, 2022
From Goodreads:
Vivid, compelling, and absolutely magnetic, this much-anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner’s The Other Side of the Sky has something for every reader: a star-crossed love full of tantalizing longing, unique and immersive new worlds to explore, and nonstop thrills that escalate into an unforgettably electric conclusion.
From Goodreads:
Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Laini Taylor, this sequel to New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner’s genre-bending fantasy The Other Side of the Sky takes us to the grand sky-city of Ciel, where danger and mystery await.
Time to stop Inshara. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again.
Nimh still holds on to her divinity, if only by a thread.
In her final confrontation with Inshara, the woman determined to take her place and rule Nimh’s kingdom, both Nimh and her enemy were sent to the world above, in the cloudlands.
Now North looks to the sky, left behind on the surface world.
Desperate for a chance to join the girl he loves and save his world, North will stop at nothing to find a way back to his home in the sky-city of Ciel. Before it’s too late to save anyone.
But more awaits them in the world above than North or Nimh could ever expect. And as they come together and team up with allies from above and below, they face an ultimate test of their bond, their abilities, and their belief in each other in a quest to save their worlds.

From Goodreads:
Can Ava and Jak'ri stand against so many and emerge victorious?
From Goodreads:
Ava has always been different. Born with strong telepathic abilities, she lives a very isolated life until she is offered a job with an obscure network that aids powerful Immortal Guardians in their quest to protect humanity from the psychotic vampires who prey upon them. Suddenly, she doesn't feel so different. For the first time in her life, Ava has found a place where she belongs. She's happy. Life is good. And when her employers invite her to join a group of other gifted ones and a handful of Immortal Guardians on a journey to another planet, it becomes absolutely fantastic.
In no time at all, she is speeding across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship manned by two amazing alien races. It's the dream of a lifetime... until a vicious attack by a mutual enemy of Lasara and Earth lands her alone in an escape pod with no habitable planet in sight and only one ship within range: one that carries the enemy who wants to know why the bioengineered virus they released on Earth long ago didn't exterminate humanity and leave the planet ripe for their claiming.
Jak'ri doesn't know how long he has been a prisoner aboard the Cebaun, but he fears the enemy's twisted experiments will soon lead them to a virus that will eradicate the Purveli people. Despair grips him until a female from Earth is taken captive and reaches out to him telepathically. The gift that Ava said caused her such misery in the past soon becomes his salvation as the two of them form a fast friendship. Determined to distract each other from the horrors of their existence, they immerse themselves in telepathic communion during the day, then seek solace and adventure together in shared dreams. As their friendship deepens into love, the two hatch a daring plot to escape their captors. But the enemy will not let them go without a fight.
Expected Publication: January 18th, 2022
From Goodreads:
Time for an Impossible to Infiltrate mission: high chance of death, low chance of success. The devils will have to use their unique skills, no matter the sacrifice, and pair up with old enemies. Their plan? Get to the heart of the Empire. Destroy the Oracle. Burn it all to the ground.
From Goodreads:
After an ambush leaves the Novantae resistance in tatters, the survivors scatter across the galaxy. Wanted by two great empires, the bounty on any rebel’s head is enough to make a captor filthy rich. And the seven devils? Biggest score of them all. To avoid attacks, the crew of Zelus scavenge for supplies on long-abandoned Tholosian outposts.
Not long after the remnants of the rebellion settle briefly on Fortuna, Ariadne gets a message with unimaginable consequences: the Oracle has gone rogue. In a planned coup against the Empire’s new ruler, the AI has developed a way of mass programming citizens into mindless drones. The Oracle’s demand is simple: the AI wants its daughter back at any cost.
Expected Publication: January 18th, 2022
From Goodreads:
Electric Idol by Katee Robert
From Goodreads:
The heart-pounding sequel to Cast in Firelight, perfect for fans of epic, sweepingly romantic fantasy by Sabaa Tahir, Susan Dennard, and Mary E. Pearson.
After a magical eruption devastates the kingdom of Belwar, royal heir Adraa is falsely accused of masterminding the destruction and forced to stand trial in front of her people, who see her as a monster. Adraa's punishment? Imprisonment in the Dome, an impenetrable, magic-infused fortress filled with Belwar’s nastiest criminals—many of whom Adraa put there herself. And they want her to pay.
Jatin, the royal heir to Naupure, has been Adraa’s betrothed, nemesis, and fellow masked vigilante . . . but now he’s just a boy waiting to ask her the biggest question of their lives. First, though, he’s going to have to do the impossible: break Adraa out of the Dome. And he won’t be able to do it without help from the unlikeliest of sources—a girl from his past with a secret that could put them all at risk.
Time is running out, and the horrors Adraa faces in the Dome are second only to the plot to destabilize and destroy their kingdoms. But Adraa and Jatin have saved the world once already. . . . Now, can they save themselves?
Expected Publication: January 18th, 2022
From Goodreads:
Eros has no problem shedding blood. But when it comes time to take out his latest target, he can't do it. Confused by his reaction to Psyche, he does the only thing he can think of to keep her safe: he marries her. Psyche vows to make Eros's life a living hell until they find a way out of this mess. But as lines blur and loyalties shift, she realizes he might take her heart after all...and she's not sure she can survive the loss.
From Goodreads:
He was the most beautiful man alive.
And if I wasn't careful, he was going to be my death.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Psyche and Eros that's as sinful as it is sweet.*
In the ultra-modern city of Olympus, there's always a price to pay. Psyche knew she'd have to face Aphrodite's ire eventually, but she never expected her literal heart to be at stake...or for Aphrodite's gorgeous son to be the one ordered to strike the killing blow.
Expected Publication: January 18th, 2022
From Goodreads:
The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing.
From Goodreads:
A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.
After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.
The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them.
Yeah, some more really great, excellent books! I love these authors, and I can't wait to see where these series go, I love the Henri Davenforth series, and where the stand alone goes! What about you guys? Happy reading!
