Anyone else wild about statistics? Me, too!

The only college textbook (that’s an actual textbook) that I kept is this little beauty, because I adore it.

I know: I’ve got some issues.

But there are up sides to everything, and in this case, I’ve got some serious numbers about my reading.

Here’s what’s happened in the first 3 months of the year around here:

• I’ve read 23 books
• 26% are by people of color
• 22% are by international authors
• Weird, unplanned trend in which I read 4 author memoirs in less than 2 months (Hi there, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Jennifer Weiner, and Ann Patchett!)

My favorites so far this year:

• Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things by Amy Dickinson
• LaRose by Louise Erdrich
• 11/22/63 by Stephen King
• The One-in-a-Million Boy by Monica Wood

So, good people… What’s the best book you’ve read in the first quarter of 2017?
