Does anybody really read these? I don’t, but since blogs are all about celebrating narcissism, I’m going to do some year-end navel-gazing for my own amusement. Enjoy.
From a stats point of view, it’s been an interesting year. I received an substantial bump in hits this fall, probably because that’s about when I started branching out into art journaling and my notebook obsession. I’m still primarily a book blogger (not something I set out to do, but reviews do make up the vast majority of my entries) but it’s fun to post about other things too. This was also my first year as a “real” book reviewer – that is, where I am contacted more or less regularly by people seeking a review.
My top page, as should come as a surprise to no one, was my list of writing prompt websites. It received almost three times the hits as my main page. This is awesome, by the way: I’m happy to provide a service that so many find so useful.
My most popular review in terms of page views was, oddly enough, Number the Stars. I guess people were looking for help on their homework.
Lastly, I am sad to announce that not a single person from Iceland visited my blog all year. Clearly I am doing something terribly, terribly wrong.
Okay, that’s enough of that. What would you like to see more or less of in 2011?
I always enjoy the book reviews, but I do like the art entries, whether they be drawings or the new art journaling. And I love the painted kids’ meal toys – is that this blog? :-)
Yeah, yeah. Can you believe I’m behind on my toy-painting? I’ve received several toys in the mail but I haven’t figured out what to do with them yet. At some point I need to post the high-quality photos Bill took of all my critters, including the two My Little Pony knock-offs that became My Little Joker and My Little Jason.
Oh! the yearly stats summary; a time of joy for all!
Congrats on being a review expert, that’s pretty effing cool. :)
Also, let me just say… I absolutely love your humorous writing. Your “Blatant Lie” page had me laughing. I think I reread it three times.
Keep it up! :)

Thanks! :D I had a good time writing it. I almost didn’t keep it and the horrible truth when I switched to WordPress, but I’m glad I did. It’s very…me. :)
