Once again, I went and tracked how many movies, books, and graphic novels I saw/read over the course of the year. Last year’s tally had me at at 31 movies, 21 books, 1 fiction magazine, and 124 graphic novels. This year? 31 movies, 24 books, 13 fiction magazines, and 110 graphic novels. Two increases, one decrease, and one exactly the same. Not bad overall… And now, let the counting start all over again!

How do you keep track of all that??? Do you record each as you go or make stacks of completed things?
For books/comics/graphic novels, I use Goodreads to keep track of everything as I read it; it’d be waaaaaay too hard to do so otherwise. For movies, I just update the list on my phone because I know I will forget otherwise.
