So Goodreads has all kinds of lists about users and you can see where you rank both worldwide and in your own country in terms of being a top user, top reader, top reviewer, most popular reviewer, best reviews, top librarian, etc. Well, I just stumbled on the fact that I am currently in the Top Reviewers this week at #68 in the U.S. and #133 globally!
Now, this doesn't REALLY mean anything, it just means I have posted quite a few reviews this week - 36 to be exact. It may sound like a lot, but when you consider that the #1 Reviewer this week as posted 366, it seems like nothing. (Seriously, 366? Are they REALLY reviews, or quick one-liners? Perhaps I will have to investigate...)
Either way, it was just something kind of neat that made me smile. You know, because I am competitive and like recognition for accomplishments - yes, reading and reviewing is an accomplishment in my world!
Now, if I were to go back and give a single-line review for every children's book I have read with Eleanor so far, I think I could move up pretty quickly...
This is amazing Sarah! & definitely quite an accomplishment!! I really enjoy reading all your reviews! You give great information for people that are knowledgeable about a topic and for first time readers of a subject.
ReplyDeleteNow, we just need to increase your reviews by about 300+ ;)

Aw, thank you! Sometimes I feel like I don't quite say it right what I am trying to actually say, so I am glad that they make sense to someone else! I need to get more reading done and reviews up, as now I am only listed for the month, boo! But I am also not quite sure how and when Goodreads updates their statistics, because it said I was 167th, then 169th last week (for the month overall) but then this week it still says 169th for the month. I am really curious to know when it updates - I read and reviewed five books alone this weekend!
