Happy New Year!
Posted January 1, 2016
on:The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 40,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 15 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
There were 465 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 124 MB. That’s about a picture per day.
The busiest day of the year was January 19th with 409 views. The most popular post that day was Bad Boy: A Memoir by Walter Dean Myers.

In the future, you’ll also find it in the right hand corner under Personal News.
Thanks for your support in 2015! Over the next twelve months, you can look forward to daily posts except on the weekends. Those posts will range from book reviews and author interviews, to news and views posts, to snapshots and other meme posts. You can also expect the occasional “Inspired By….” feature and personal update. Join me for another year of literary adventure!
Who here participated in the 2015 Reading Challenge from Good Reads? What was your goal? Did you meet it?
My husband decided to join and encouraged me to participate too. We both made our goals!
Good Reads even created a lovely graphic of the results for each person who participated. Below is mine. I think it’s a nice way to see what books I have reviewed over the past year, don’t you?
Tomorrow I’ll return with the annual report from WordPress for Allison’s Book Bag. Ahead, I’ll also have a post about resolutions for the new year, the best and worst books I read last year, and a tribute to young adult authors whom we lost in 2015. Join me for another year of reading fun!
5000 Hits!
Posted October 5, 2015
on:Allison’s Book Bag reached 5000 hits for the first time at the end of last month! What a wonderful way to celebrate five years.
Foremost, my thanks goes to my husband for encouraging me to start a book review blog. Also, he created both logos for my blog, as well as my Gravatar. He also faithfully edited my reviews, until I started feeling comfortable enough independently posting them. Oh, and he has even served as guest reviewer for me.
Also, I appreciate the constant support of my dad and my mother-in-law. Inspired by my blog, my dad started his own, which you can check out here: Open Theism. Also, he frequently comments on my posts, even when it means taking time to read the book I have just reviewed. My mother-in-law has also been a faithful follower from the start.
Finally, of course, thanks to all of my readers and followers. You’re hugely instrumental in my blog reaching 5000 hits. I can’t wait to see what the next five years and next 5000 hits brings!
