Ok, so the interesting thing is how those stats compare to last year.
Overall, I read one less book (87 vs 86), but my percentage of new reads was higher (52% vs 53.5%) Though the stats are very, very similar. My averages, both in books per month and new books per month are exactly the same.
So bets!
Will 2013 break the pattern? How will it if it does? What month will see me reading more? less? Which author(s) will I binge on? (Tanya Huff is looking to be a favourite...) Will I ever get round to updating the reviews here?
Who knows!

So, without further ado...
