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 […]
2019 CBR11 stats update!
So, I sat down to compile the 2019 stats the other day anticipating a week and a half of drudgery. Drudgery I would get some degree of nerd pleasure out of, but still drudgery. Only to discover that – none of my XML formula’s (that I use to harvest data from this website, which I then turn into the CBR database) worked. So I pulled up the home page, and find that everything looks different. Uh oh. After verifying my code strings, and making a […]
Hey look, I did a thing. After eight months….. 2019 STATS!
As some of you may have noticed, we’re doing something a little different this year. Namely, I have a new baby in the house (she’s currently mewling at me from her swing, refusing to go to sleep), and don’t have the time for the monthly updates. So I instead wanted to focus on quarterly updates (which I think I did last year). That turned into a half-year update….and here I am in August finally getting around to it. But – and this is the good […]
2nd quarter 2018 stats update!
Now that we’re (more than) halfway through the year, it’s time for the second quarter database update. I’m not going to lie, though, I kind of forgot to do this. That’s the bad thing about not doing this every month, I guess. You kind of get out of the habit of it. And I kind of miss doing the more in-depth posts, but I just don’t have the time for it. Sorry about that, everyone. On with the stats! Monthly review totals: January – 416 […]
