October 2022 Sources: 11/02/22

Previous month's book sources

October was another good month for reading, though not quite at September's levels. I am well on my way to meeting my typical 300 goal, now being at 270 books read for the year.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In October I read 20 TBR books, up from September's 18 TBR. One book was published in October. Four books were for research. Three were from the library. My ROOB score for October, -4, is slightly higher than the previous month: -4.07 It's tied for my second best October in 13 years of tracking this metric.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I did exactly as I had predicted for October. I a -4 and that's how the reading turned out. Given September's success, For November, I'm going to predict a -4.5 as it's traditionally one of my best months.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for October improved from -2.29 to -2.42.
