Genre Statistics

In October 2016 I made a post link about Genres. What I read, reasons and statistics. So now two years later I want to see how much it has changed.

Keep in mind though that at the end of the year I always do a post about statistics of that year (amounts, genres, pages, months etc.).

After the previous post around 80 books have been added to the books I have listed read on my excel (~600 books at this point).  So to see how things have changed I'm also looking into those 80 books and comparing to last times stats.
Still with me?

This shows all the books I've read by genre
All the books:

Breakdown:
Most grown: Crime, Historical and Retellings.
Though from previously not having read any and now one historical that can be taken off that list.

I stopped doing my classic-a-month challenge so there's that explained...
