We’re a little past the time that we usually see wrap-up posts of the previous year, but it’s still worth it to look at all Cannonball Read accomplished in 2024. Thank you to everyone who posted, commented, or just visited our site. Book Discussions For Cannonball 16, we changed our book club discussions. We switched from focusing on a specific book or books, to having periodic Zoom discussions around a book genre. We held 6 meetings during the year January – Welcome Chat February – […]
Stats round-up for 2023!
It’s that time of year again! The database is mostly automated at this point, so some of my counts may be a little off. And, as always, the database is incomplete for Cannonball Reads 1 and 2, back before there was a dedicated space for reviews. Some blogs are now offline and aren’t available through Internet Archive or other means. I don’t think I’ll ever recover those reviews. In total, there are 53,038 reviews catalogued in the database of 30,320 individual books reviewed by a […]
2022 Stats update!
Sorry for the delay. For perhaps the first time ever, I actually had the database complete on January 1st….and then life happened, and I haven’t actually looked at it until today. As always, my numbers may be slightly off from this website (or your own personal tallies). At this point, I’ve automated most of the database, so there may be some errors in how things are counted. I don’t physically check everything in the database to confirm accuracy (so, for instance, V.E. Schwab and Victoria […]
2021 Year End Round-Up!
We’ve wrapped up yet another year of the Cannonball Read! Everyone give yourself a pat on the back for all that you’ve reviewed, and remember to give yourself a pass for the things that you didn’t review. There’s no pressure, here. I want to make this more aesthetically digestible, but it’s late and I’m tired. So I’ll just cut the introduction short. There were 5,394 reviews written for CBR13. That’s a record! Of those reviews, there are 3,097 unique books/stories. Our top 10 (14) most […]
2020 stats round-up!
There are times in life when you’re riding pretty high. You think well of yourself. Any task is within your reach. Oh, you’re almost 40 years old and want to learn how to play a musical instrument for the first time in your life? Sure, why not? Pick up that guitar and start teaching yourself. Oh, you drifted through six years of learning the Russian language and walked away knowing only a handful of phrases and the first stanza to one song? Sure, sign […]
Midyear 2020 Stats!
Ain’t no party, like a hurricane party ’cause a hurricane party don’t…Yeah, I’m not having a hurricane party. I put the kids to bed, filled my tummy with Wendy’s, and am watching fail videos on Youtube. Close enough, I guess. All is good here (though my kids’ trampoline was ripped from its anchors and rolled over by the wind. The safety netting was damaged, but I was able to force it back into a reasonably normal position). Anyway…This stats update is through the first week […]
