For 2022, I tagged 10 books as "good books" and one as "good audiobook". (Acts of Violets was an exceptionally well done production. The book itself didn't quite meet the "good book" criteria, so I created its own special category.) Nothing earned the "great book" tag. By year, there were plenty of older books, with a couple from the 1700s. However, the most popular year ended up being this year. There didn't seem to be a single author or series that dominated. Brandon Sanderson was the only author that cracked the top tags. The top ones ended up being very broad categories.
There was an average of .72 books per day, with a couple months averaging more than a book per day. (Thank you 3X speed in Libby and 4X in PlayBooks and Kindle.) I remember back when going beyond 1.5X seemed fast. It does vary by book, but gradually building up to a higher speed does work. The disadvantage is that you miss more if you are interrupted by something loud. With long "boring" books, I have sometimes just let it play even though it is too noisy to really hear and comprehend.
