Like many
of the blogs I frequent, I’d thought I’d take a quick look back at 2017, and
answer the question I’m sure everyone is wondering about.
Just what
were my top five blog posts of 2017? But
before that (sorry, but I’m a mystery/suspense writer), a couple of
observations.
First, reads
definitely increased over the year. All
of the top five are July or later. Where
posts were getting dozens of reads in the first quarter, they were in the
hundreds by the end of the year. Thank
you!
Second,
the top five are heavily book reviews (4 out of 5). That makes sense, as I am a book blogger. But I also write about writing in general and
of course, I have the occasional self-promotion post (sorry, but I gotta eat).
Interestingly,
if I opened this list up to 2016, a couple of non-book review posts would show
up including:
http://brucemperrin.blogspot.com/2016/10/in-space-of-atom-cover-release.html
- I love this cover, but who knew it would get so much attention; and
http://brucemperrin.blogspot.com/2016/10/happy-first-indie-authors-day.html,
which I think is pretty cool.
So, the
suspense is high enough. Here’s my top
five posts from 2017.
5. http://brucemperrin.blogspot.com/2017/07/you-gotta-love-optimism.html
– a tongue-in-cheek about TBR lists on Goodreads. It got a ton of reads on Facebook too.
Drum roll
please…
Happy writing…and
blog reading too,
BmP
