Paper Books: 003.
Electronic Books: 062.
Audiobooks: 091 (three omnibus editions counting as nine, one omnibus edition counting as two).
For this year, many of the books were read as I synchronized between the audiobook version and the electronic book version. The count was "awarded" to the category where I "read" the most of the book. As you can see, I did a lot of walking this year, so a large chunk of books were consumed while on those walks.
