In June 2009, I joined the Referrals Program with different online sellers; this allows me to see where the people goes to browse after leaving my LiveJournal. It is still a surprise month after month, people tend to be interested on the most different topics and objects (many more than only books)

Some books were meteors, only 1 month in the list, some others appeared month after month. I decided to post the yearly Top List so that you can better understand the trend, and of course, find out a title that maybe you missed in the past year. Congrats to all the authors, I'd love to post all of them, but it would be really a HUGE list; to allow a better browsing I divided it in Fiction and Non Fiction (i.e. essays, memories, art books and movies).

I love statistics ;-) I love lists, I love rates... and so I can't avoid to enroll in a Referrals Program: Amazon allows me to have reports on the clicks people do from my LiveJournal to its site. And not only the number of clicks but also on what product... after the recent Amazon's trouble, I'm quite satisfied to see that I'm sending a lot of people interested in a particular type of romance or argument, I'm all for fighting from the inside... and then, let tell the truth, Amazon is the only online bookseller that has ALL the titles and in ALL the countries.

Truth be told, before enrolling in Amazon Referrals Program, I signed to join an indie online booksellers, devoted to LGBT fiction... my request was simply ignored. And if it was not, their Referrals Program would have been not so specialized as this one, but I would have joined nevertheless... but probably my LiveJournal was not judged good enough, or maybe the problem is that I live in Italy... don't know they didn't give me a reason.

So now, I would like to share with you the Top 10 of the month, the products which received more clicks in the previous month. It's also a way to see what it was "hot" in the last month, and so, if someone lost a particular post, he can be updated. The Top 10 has more than 10 items since there are some tie.
