The CBR database currently contains over 11,500 reviews for I don’t know how many individual books and authors. Maybe, one day, when I get caught up I’ll try to figure that out. I’ve input Goodreads info on over 7,500 of these books, have the sex info on over 10,000 authors, and the nationality of over 7,000 authors.
I’m still, of course, in the process of going back through CBR3, 4, and 5, along with various blogs for CBR1 and 2, not to mention the Pajiba reviews section of the mothership (though, I’ve only done a handful).
If anyone has suggestions for what else they want to see in the monthly stat round-up, just let me know. I’ve temporarily put the brakes on the Google Docs file for community edit.
You are amazing!
Thank you! But I’m only sharing the hard work of all of you wonderful readers.
This is the easy part.
Yikes, I look harsh next to most of the other 5+ reviewers
If it makes you feel better, you had a slightly better month in October (3.33 avg), but an even worse one in September (2.88).
I love the reviewer averages !
It’s something I’ve wanted to do for awhile for my year end post, but I don’t know if I’ll have all the reviews done in time (I didn’t start including Goodreads info until May).
But, on a monthly basis, it shouldn’t be a problem doing it from now on.
