Each month I share the statistics for the previous month for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge,although I didn't get to do the September statistics last month as I was on holidays. So today, I am sharing the statistics for both September and October. I always find it interesting to see what are the books that people are reading and reviewing!
In terms of the books, September was a good month for reviews with 84 reviews linked up for the challenge, shared by 19 participants, which is a 20 more than were reviewed in September last year. There were 81 individual titles reviewed, written by 78 different authors. There were 7 reviewers who reviewed 5 or more books each this month. Thank you to everyone who shared their links whether it be 9 or just 1.
Let's move onto the books. There were 2 books that were reviewed twice during September. They were:
A Lady's Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin was reviewed by both Helen at She Reads Novels and at Staircase Wit.
Mrs Porter Calling by A J Pearce was reviewed at Staircase Wit and at The Chocolate Lady's Book Review blog.
In addition, there were 3 authors who had multiple books reviewed.
They were Agatha Christie whose books Murder on the Orient Express and Appointment with Death were reviewed by Shellie from Shellie Loves Books.
Susan at Reading World reviewed Beloved and Lost Lover by Mary Lancaster
Christopher Morley's books Parnassus on Wheels and The Haunted Bookshop were reviewed at Belle's Library.

It probably worked out quite well that I have combined the statistics for these two months. There were 34 individual titles reviewed, written by 33 different authors in October. There were 3 reviewers who reviewed 5 or more books in October. However, there were no books reviewed more than once, and the only author who had more than one book reviewed was Agatha Christie. Her book Black Coffee was reviewed by Shellie at Shellie Loves Books and Halloween Party was reviewed at Laura's Reviews.
My thoughts are very much turning towards next year's challenge. My plan is to put the December linky up on 1 December as usual, and then the sign up post for the 2024 challenge will be up within a couple of days. I will also put up a linky to enable to link up any wrap ups for the 2023 challenge to be shared.
Are you starting to think about your reading challenges in 2024. I hope you will consider joining the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.
This is so impressive that you collect and report on the stats from the Historical Fiction group. I don't think I've heard of anyone doing this before. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
I like doing the stats Anne. It's always interesting to see what other people are reading!
DeleteI'll be back for next year's challenge for sure. Thanks for sharing the stats.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you will be back Mark!

DeleteIt’s wonderful to hear that even this late in the year you are still getting great participation in your challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing information about next year’s challenge for those of us who like to prepare early.
I try to be organised Deb. Not always successfully, but I do try
DeleteThat anonymous comment was mine. Deb Nance at Readerbuzz.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed A Lady's GT Scandal and Mrs Porter Calling (but read this series in order!). Thanks for the mention! I hope others read my favorite this month, Beyond That, the Sea!
ReplyDeleteI can see one other review for that book earlier in the year!
