This is the highest non-fiction percentage I think I've ever had, which I'm pleased with.

Rereads: 115 (38%)

Books by both: 7 (2%)
TBR 1/1/2015: 274
TBR 1/1/2016: 349
This last is because my grandmother passed away at the end of last year and left me all her books. I didn't keep them all (there were 2000-2500, something like that), and I didn't even add all the ones I kept to my TBR list. There are about 500 still in storage downstairs.
