Category: Monthly Round Ups

Every month I post an article that highlights the five articles I wrote that month which have done the best. This started as a great exercise in defining the five best articles from that month. However, with the majority of them now being book reviews and summaries from the previous month (such as this one) it is becoming more of an exercise in which book review gets the most traction.

Last month I stated that it clearly wasn't a particularly good reading month for me and then I've gone and read the same amount of books in February. I set my reading goal to 60, at this rate, of four books a month, I'm only going to hit 48. I need to have a couple of really productive months if I'm going to reach it!

These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. So yeah, in February I managed to finish four books. However, I do kind of have another excuse again.…

Each and almost (I forgot last month) I put out an article that shows you which articles performed best for me that month. Please note that the article contains affiliate links, this means that if you choose to purchase any products via the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. This list only includes the articles that I actually posted that month or it would end up being a list that becomes quite a bit more monotonous (there's always the same top few articles). This month's articles are basically three reviews and the two summaries from the previous month. What they tell me is that I need to start writing more…

Yeah, doesn't look like January was a particularly productive month for reading, was it? There are a few factors to this but I'll go into those in a bit and discuss more the books I read and why it wasn't the biggest numbers this month. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you choose to purchase any products via the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. In January I read four books (well, "finished" as I started reading some in December). There was quite an array of different genres throughout the month, so that was good. There was one historical fiction novel, one contemporary fiction,…

Every month I read some books, and then what I do is write a blog article about those books with a short summary of my review and a link to the full review. This way you can see what I've read and you can see what I thought of those books - genius eh? Every book blogger does it? Oh, ok. Anyway, here are the five books I read in December. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you choose to purchase any products via the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. In December I read five books which is about average. I was under…

At the end of each month, I post a list and a short summary of every single book I've read that month. Below, you'll find the three books I managed to finish this month. Obviously each of these books I had to have finished, not just read some of. This means books I started and didn't finish (because I have put them aside for example) do not appear on this list. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you choose to purchase any products via any of the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. In November I read three books, which is a fairly poor…

This not only allows me to look back and see which articles did the best that month but it also allows any budding bloggers to see what worked for me that month. This month my top five features three book reviews and my two round-up articles. It's great to see the round-up articles getting some traction…

At the end of each month, I post a list and a short summary of every single book I've read that month. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you choose to purchase any products via any of the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of the product. Throughout October I read seven books, which isn't bad going. Based on my previous end-of-the-month round-ups, this seems about as many as I can fit into a month. In short: I've read some fantastic books this month with two of those I've reviewed so far have been five-star reads. There might also be a very controversial review depending on how…

Every month I post an update on the blog posts that did well from the previous month. So guess what I'm going to do this month? Yeah, the same. The top five articles from September include three book reviews and two feature articles. It's always fascinating to see which articles do well each month and see if they match up with the articles I thought would do well when I posted them. There is also the obvious argument that the earlier the post goes up in the month, the better chance it has to perform well as it has been on for longer. However, it is always even more interesting when the posts aren't in order of date and one blog post does well simply because it was more popular.…
