Total number of titles read for "Memoir" in July

[LibraryCin]

In July, we read 87 individual titles for the memoir tag.

Now, there were a lot of people who read the same book, so that's not included in this number, as each book/title is only counted once.

I also wonder if the lower number might be because - summer? Are people reading less?

Last year, both July and December had 87 and 85 individual titles read each, so maybe summer/Christmas as busier times?

I also wanted to do a comparison to other similar tags we've read:
Autobiography (March 2018) - 75 titles read
Biography-Memoir (July 2016) - 81 titles read

So, the biography-memoir one was also in July.

It looks like there were nearly 140 reviews written in this folder (which seems pretty good) but only 87 different titles. I think the author challenge led many of us to read the same books - especially the 5 or 6 written by Stephen King, Ann Patchett, and Barbara Kingsolver.

It might be useful to make a note of the total number of reviews as well. I used to notice when the Monthly tag folder was more (or less) active than the "other" folder, but it's harder to keep track of that now.

Good point. Thats easy enough to do. Ill try to remember to note that, going forward, as well.

And agreed! Im sure wpf has made a difference every month this tear with many reading the same books.

I don't think you need to go through to make note of the # of reviews, Cindy. It's easy enough to see in the monthly folder.

We've always kept track of the number of different titles and I don't see any reason to change that. We won't always have a challenge that results in so many people reading the same titles.

I enjoy seeing the data, Cindy, and your interpretations. I do think July is a slow month. I see that at my workplace as well. I do invoicing every month, and I think July is the hardest time to collect! In August, it's remarkable how many people pay on time compared to July . . .

Good point... but it only takes a second to note here the number of reviews (well, I'll note the number of threads, most likely, minus one for the announcement) posted, as well. I'm happy to do it, since it will be quick and easy - as long as I remember! :-)

Obviously I'm just guessing, but I'm always interested to see if other people have ideas, too.

And LOL! on the difference between July and August for invoice payments!
