There were 133 posts on works by women, 80 by men.
Living authors were featured 102 times, those who have taken the Celestial Omnibus, 111 times

To my fellow book bloggers keep blogging. Imagine how great it will be to look back on 25 plus years of book blogging. Sometimes I do think “why bother" but blogging helped me get through some very dark times.
My great thanks to all who leave comments.
Great thanks also to Max u for kind Amazon gift cards.
I will soon do a separate post on my 2019 Reading Life hopes and plans.

What interesting patterns! I'm always surprised, too, by my own reading, to find a larger-than-expected total of American authors. (Almost as many as Canaadian for me, this year!) You seem to read very diversely, so that surprises me with your figures too.
