2007 Stats Part II will deal with book ratings.
You had a very busy year reading wise! You were pretty close on the male to female author ratio. I don’t really pay attention to gender of an author when I pick up a book to read, but it’s always interesting to see which which I tend to “favor” when it comes to tallying the stats.
Have a Happy New Year.
I love reading everyone’s stats. Mine differ quite a bit from yours, only 9 of my 65 were written by men! Of course, you read a LOT more than I did too…
Happy New Year, here’s to another great year of reading.
That’s awesome! What an incredible reading year. Great job.
