Total number of titles read for "Coming of Age" in March

[LibraryCin]

Yup. When I looked at the folder and saw over 300(!!!!!) threads, I knew this would be the most books ever, surpassing last month (Authors of Color).

So, in March, we read 274 individual titles for "Coming of age".

Note that we have done coming of age before, so I added the books to both the already existing shelf, and a separate shelf (Coming of agez) in order to get the stats.

So, the Coming of Agez shelf is here for last month's reads (until I delete it later on to give people time to take a look):
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

If anyone wants to see the regular "Coming of age" shelf that includes the last time we read for it, that shelf is here:

Oh, there were 312 threads (aka topics) in the folder, so minus the one announcement thread, there would have been 311 books read.

The last time we read "coming of age" was in June 2017 and we only read 75 individual titles. Looking at that entire year, though, none of the tags was over 100, so it must have been a year of slow participation.

Previous to that, we'd also read "Coming of age" over at shelfari, so in September 2009, we read 143 individual titles.

I'd say we even blew past last month's 255. Previous to that our highest in a month was:
December 2008: Mystery: 233 books read

I was also surprised to see we did not yet have the Twilight books on our group shelf! (Given the number of times it was read and reread and rearead - yes, I'm looking at you, Nicole R!) Except the first one, only because it was in our top 10 years ago.

Thanks, Ellen. Everyone once in a while when it feels like it's taking a very long time, I need to remind myself that it took longer on shelfari - because there, we also averaged everyone's rating and added everyone's review to the group shelf. We were able to do that there. So, I worked on it every week and added a lot more information.

Cool, I was the one who submitted Coming of Age as a tag so I was happy it won and had so many books. I was randomly chosen for it the same week I won the monthly drawing. Anita said that had never happened before !

[Theresa]

Wow! That's amazing!

Wonder if Fantasy Romance will finally add Twilight to a monthly tag?

Twilight was added for march, but what was different about it vs the other books in the series was that it was the only one that was already on our bookshelf. That was a surprise because i know so many have read it, so i thought they'd all already have been on our shelf. Very possible i just didn't word that very clearly!

Wow. Just wow.

Never mind a sportsmanship award, Cindy - you deserve a medal!!
