My conclusion is that most authors and most titles fall in the first half of the alphabet. No idea why.

Also, it matters whether an author has a new book out during or just before bingo, however, some authors such as Ilona Andrews also had lots of their older books read as well as the newest.

Tremendous works, thanks Sandra!

You're welcome Val :D

Wow. Fantastic job on the stats. I always join bingo to cull my to-read list and it always ends up larger.

Thanks AH, I always end up adding books to the tbr, and I usually get to cull a couple as well.

Wow awesome list! It's great to see all the books read together :)

Thanks Sandra ~ I love looking at all the pretty covers lol
I thought it was totally cool that Ilona Andrews and Nalini Singh were #1 & 2 for most read and most 5 stars given. I love their series just as much as everyone else :)

Nice! Thanks for this.

Thanks, Nairabell, Melissa & Rachel :)

Thank you for doing this, Sandra! It's really neat to see all these facts. You're the bestest!

Thanks Nichole :D

Thanks for the time and effort I know you had to put into this! It's interesting to see how some of my favorites ranked.

Thanks Daffodil :)

Holy Cannoli! What an awesome list! Many thanks, Miss Sandra! This is such a treat!

:DDDD

;D

WOW. you are amazing for doing that

Thx... Very interesting. Great job Sandra!

Thanks Ez & Lis :)

Thanks Sandra! That is quite impressive! I'm going through it to see how many more (!!) books I need to add to Mt TBR!

Hope to "see" you soon for another game!

:D
