I took a look at some raw data recently to tally up the number of posts and reviews broken down by format. Content posted up to September 5, 2017, was included in the tallies. There were also a few posts that were single posts that contained reviews for two different titles. In these cases each of those reviews was tallied separately for the review numbers. So if you add up reviews, and it comes to a couple more than the total number of posts, this is why. Now. Let's take a look at the numbers!
Over the past ten years this blog has posted 422 posts. More recently I've made an effort to post a new review once a week. Sometimes there were two posts a week if I had content for a review as well as for a miscellaneous, non-review post.
What does this mean in terms of reviews by format or miscellaneous posts? It means hundreds of book reviews have been posted to the blog! 325 book reviews have been posted in a wide range of genres, including adult fiction, young adult fiction, juvenile fiction, non-fiction, and picturebooks. While the majority of the reviews have been of adult fiction books primarily in the genres thrillers/mysteries, "chick" lit, historical fiction, and literary fiction written by me (Ms. Angie), I have also reviewed some young adult fiction, juvenile fiction, and picturebook titles.
Over the years I've also welcomed at least three guest reviewers, the most recent of which is Miss Shayne who has been posting reviews for young adult fiction and movies fairly regularly over her school breaks. Other genres reviewed by me or other guest reviewers have included non-fiction, biographies, memoirs, and Christian fiction. There's an archive you can use to find past reviews going all the way back ten years by clicking the burger menu near the top right corner. Or you can search by title, author, or genre tag using the search function next to the burger menu.
Reviews for 58 movies, mini-series, and/or TV shows, reviewed by either me or Miss Shayne, have posted to the blog these past ten years as well as reviews for four music CD's. And there have been 37 miscellaneous posts. What's a miscellaneous post? While the past few years have focused nearly exclusively on content that reviews a title, earlier in the blog's life I also posted new arrivals lists of new titles in one of several of the library's collections. These miscellaneous posts also included links to other content posted to the library's Youtube channel as well as the Staff Picks posts that shared staff members' best of or favorite titles from the previous year. The Staff Picks series started in 2014 and will be in its fourth year this year!
Next week we'll take a closer look at some of reviews that have received a lot attention over the past ten years. And don't forget to hit us up in the comments! We love to hear from our readers.
