My LJ's birthday: Thank you all!

[reviews_and_ramblings]

4 years ago I opened this LiveJournal. A lot of things happened, some good, some bad, but mostly good. 4 years ago I had to browse the special line of some epublishers to find the books I wanted to read, now it seems that most of the newfounded epus are for Gay & Lesbian novels. Now I know that my perception is distorted, that I'm living in a small niche and if I go out there, in the big sea, I would be eaten alive by the sharks, but I like my little niche. I would like to use some of the gifts people sent me in the last months to party:



And now a bit of numbers, you know I love numbers... In the last year, from December 2009 to today, I received/bought 1255 ebooks (without considering the print books), this means more than 100 LGBT releases per month.

At todat my LiveJournal counts 1636 reviews:
- 896 contemporary fiction
- 321 paranormal fiction
- 156 fantasy fiction
- 144 historical fiction
- 119 futuristic fiction

The most common theme is "Virgins... at least in one way" (387 tags): ok, the myth of the blushing virgin, or the allure of the first love is still something, apparently, people like, otherwise there would be not so many books.

The most reviewed publisher is Torquere Press (353 tags): well, truth be told, it was also the first publisher to enlist me as official reviewer, way back in 2007 I believe, so I think it's normal.

The most reviewed author is Willa Okati (46 tags): aside from the fact that yes, I like her style very much, again she is one of the first author I "met" years ago, so, again, I think it's quite normal.

Following the monthly statistics for my LJ from January 2010 to today:



as you can read the best month was January 2010 with 63.210 monthly visits (and only 2% was from LJ users) and 155.081 pages views: that means an average of 2.104 single hits per day. Honestly the worst month was June 2010 with 19.043 monthly visits (6% was from LJ users) and 76.584 pages views: that means an average of 635 single hits per day.

And now a big thank you to my Top 10 Commenters:
