Am 23. April 2020 feiern alle Bücherwürmer den Welttag des Buches! Letztes Jahr habe ich zu diesem Anlass eine Infografik zum Stand der Buchproduktion in Österreich erstellt. Dieses Jahr liegt mein Fokus auf der Situation der Bibliotheken in Deutschland.
As the year is almost over, it's time to review my one and only resolution that I've been sticking to for the past four years: the Goodreads Reading Challenge. For 2019 I set quite a reasonable goal of reading 24 books, an average of two per month.
To combine my love for literature and data analysis, I've created a dataset with key information about the books I've read this year and visualized it in an interactive dashboard with Google Data Studio.
Goodreads is an amazing platform for tracking and organizing your reading, discovering new books, and sharing reviews or recommandations with friends.
On my quest to becoming a data scientist, I've recently played with my goodreads data to get some insights into my reading habits in the past six years. You can have a look in the GitHub repo at the full dataset and basic analysis with Python. For a quick and colorful overview, I create two interactive dashboards: one in Google Data Studio and one in Tableau.
