21 books reviewed. 15 by women, 6 by men. F/T = 0.71

4 books by POC, or 19

Year to date

82 books read. 51 by women (0.62), 29 by men (0.35), 2 by authors who identifies as neither (0.02). 21 by POC (0.26)

One way to look at 21 books by POC is a lot fewer than I wanted by this point”, but another way is to look at where I was this time last year:

February24/182/88/44
March28/212/67/29
