Well listened since they were all audiobooks. But they are the top 20% or so.
For around the last year I've been listing (with a little review) the ones I listen to

FWIW my library account shows me as having loaned 28 books this year. I’d say I finished 80% of them.
Don’t watch too much television, don’t read too much crap online. There’s plenty of time in life to read.

If you use Goodreads to track what you read, you get some stats per year, like number of books read, number of pages read.

I find it very useful, and especially by combining the two.
For example, in 2015 I've read more than double of the amount of books I've read this year, but comparing by the number of pages, the difference is just a few dozen pages.
While the amount I've read remained steady, I'm clearly able to retain longer focus necessary to read longer titles, which is something I wouldn't easily spot in such a short timeframe otherwise.

Also there are apps to block social media while reading: Offtime app works great.
