I've been collecting data on my reading since 2012, which means I've finally got enough information to examine a full TEN YEARS of my reading habits! Lots of charts at my blog: https://lawrenceevalyn.wordpress.com/2024/02/18/ten-years-of-my-reading-data/
The most surprising thing? I have almost completely abandoned print as a medium in that time.
* yes, 2012 is more than 10 years ago, but I don't get around to the charts right away

Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts has a totally stunning exhibit of John Singer Sargent’s portraits, through the lens of fashion (free to most students & faculty in Boston!) and it is a wonderful testament to good curation!
My fave moment: the Carmencita portrait next to the ACTUAL DRESS, which makes it clear both how much Sargent dictated his sitters’ appearance (he commissioned the dress) and how much he creatively re-interpreted those clothes when painting.
