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 […]
October monthly stat round-up!

September Stat Round-Up!
My most recent addition to the database is the birth year for each author (when available). I want to see the age at which authors are publishing their books. I just started doing this a few days ago, though, so I don’t have that information for most books. Look for it next month. September stats: 226 reviews (-29% from last month) Average rating: 3.61 stars (-1.4%) Most popular book: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (4 reviews; 4.25 avg) Most popular author: Eric Van Lustbader […]
August stat round-up!
Okay, I did a good job this month keeping up to date with the Goodreads information on all the reviews. I’ve added the page count for each book. August stats: 318 reviews (+7% from last month) Average rating: 3.66 stars (+1.1%) Most popular book: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (7 reviews; 4.21 avg) Most popular author: Sherman Alexie (7 reviews) Most reviews: narfna (congratulations!; 28 reviews) Fiction: 251 reviews (+2.8%) Nonfiction: 60 reviews (13.3%) Uncategorized: 10 reviews (+90%) Most […]
