Arr, ye scurvy dogs! Behold, the Apple Books' Year in Review be unveilin' all yer readin' stats from the year 2023, right afore yer weary eyes, within the app itself! Avast, 'tis a treasure trove o' knowledge ye shall discover, me hearties!

Apple has launched a Year in Review feature for its Books app, similar to Spotify Wrapped, where users can see personalized stats about the books they read in the app over the past year. To access this feature, users need to open the Books app, select the Read Now tab, and find the 'Your Year in Review' card. Apple has created six reader types, such as 'The Completionist' and 'The Contemporary,' to categorize readers based on their reading habits. Apple has also published lists of the most-read books across all Books users.
Apple has focused on sharing this year, allowing users to create book cover collages and share graphs and statistics with friends. Unlike Apple Music Replay, which is hosted on Apple's website, the Year in Review feature is contained within the Books app. Apple Music Replay is Apple Music's version of Spotify Wrapped, providing users with insights into their music tastes in 2023. However, the Replay feature is not available within the Apple Music app itself, creating more friction in the user experience compared to Spotify Wrapped.
It remains a mystery why Apple incorporated the Year in Review into the Books app while keeping Apple Music Replay separate. Regardless, users can head over to the Books app to explore their reading habits in 2023. In addition to the Year in Review feature, the article includes links to related articles about Apple's AI audiobooks and predictions for Spotify Wrapped 2023.
