Since I don't expect to finish anything significant before the end of the year, I went ahead and tallied up my 2015 reading stats. Actually, I became a little obsessed with transforming my reading into numbers, color-coded spreadsheets, and graphs. Once I had amassed all this info, I then decided to try something new: transform all that data into a pretty infographic. On the downside, I don't have a premium subscription to the particular service I use, so I can't download the PDF version to share (which really sucks). I did, however, publish it on their community page and you can check it out via the link if you like.

This is my first infographic design, so I kept it as simple as possible (definitely tell me what you think, but please be gentle...). I'm hoping to tackle a more complex version when I break down my Read Harder Challenge progress for my final 2015 update.

 EDIT: I did finally figure out how to work around the system and export a so-so image. Sharing in a separate post.

I like that there are ship silhouettes, although I have issues with this infographic. 1) Are those ship silhouettes drawn to scale? 2) What about all the ancillaries that would have been in storage? and 3) Really? That's it? I'm greedy, I want a meatier infographic.

You know how I said I was going to have to exercise some self-control and save book 3 for after my conference presentation? I'm not sure I have that kind of willpower. This is why I rarely keep up with series anymore. I hate waiting for next volumes.
