February stat round-up!
Last year was a great year, and I had lots of fun. I marked a person best for books read, and I upped my participation here by starting the database. I don’t know if I’ll read as many books as I did last year, but I plan on continuing being the resident stat guru. And we’ve had an incredibly prolific month! It was hard keeping pace with your reviews. Anyway, on with the stats! February stats: 431 reviews (last Feb. saw 365 reviews, which was […]

October monthly stat round-up!
I’m not going to lie, I slacked off a lot on this towards the end of the month, and was having a hell of a time playing catch-up pre-election. I used the shock and dismay after last night to power through the last few days of reviews. Anyway. I’m going to start doing something different, going forward. It can be pretty time consuming organizing all this information, so I think I’m going to stop updating the yearly information every month, and instead make one culminating […]
