A few blog stats:
Top viewed post: More women from behind
Number of books acquired: 53 (I blame Book Fair Week!)
Interesting stats, Avis. I wonder why 'More women from behind' was your top viewed post?
ReplyDelete53 books! Well, I imagine that's not too bad considering you attended two fairs in one week!
You had a good month Avis with all that was going on. I love your similiar covers post.
