So, I've not done any kind of discussion post in...let me check...two months. I'm not good at them and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I like lists and reviews - I'm comfortable with them. Discussions? Not so much. Plus, my brain is so fried sometimes at the end of a work day I honestly don't know if I could come up with relatively new and interesting ideas that often. Even so, here's what I've been thinking.
I decided to do a little stats analyzing (oh, my inner nerd) to see if those genres I tend to like get more 5 star reviews than genres I don't normally like. And, of course, if the reverse is true of 2 star reviews. Specifically, I wanted to see if fantasy had more positive reviews and realistic fiction had more negative. Here's the breakdown from my blog in pie chart form (see above parenthetical exclamation):
And discovered that fantasy also tops that list. Mind you, I found that I nearly equally give 2 star reviews to each genre. In fact, the only genre that seemed to move up a bit in comparison to 5 star reviews was paranormal (which, I kind of expected). As this kind of disproved my initial theory, I thought I'd better look at my overall reading by genre. I only did reading for this year since the data was the most complete.
