Good morning everyone! Last night I pulled the survey that I have had at the top of this blog for a month and tallied the results. As promised, here they are:
How Long Have You Been Reading Book Journey?
| I’m new! 1 month or less | 37 | 23% | |
| 2-4 months | 50 | 30% | |
| 4 – 8 months | 41 | 25% | |
| over 8 months | 36 | 22% |
What Do You Like About Book Journey
What Genres Do You Enjoy?
How Did You Originally Find This Blog?
Nimbus 2000 and Firebolt are both brands of what?
103 said brooms
20 said I dont know
37 were left blank
5 answers were just fun:
- sticks Harry flies on
- wands
- search engines
- internet software (2 answered this)
- Virus blocker
*I loved the extra answers and have to say while Nimbus 2000 and Firebolts are both brooms used in the Harry Potter books, I think virus blocker could also work! 😀
What Age Group Do You Fall Into?
I will do another survey in another six months or so to see how things have changed. This was a lot of fun and thank you to all who participated!
Have a fantastic day – any fun weekend plans?
Book Journey 
Oh I loved this post! And I literally laughed at the Harry Potter answers.. haha. Have a great day.
Jillian – they made me smile too. I hadn’t looked at the survey at all until I opened it last night. It was kind of fun!
Oh I loved this post! I did answer the survey too, by the way. And I literally laughed at the Harry Potter answers.. haha. Have a great day.
It was fun filling in the survey, Sheila. Keep up the brilliant work – yours is one of my favourite blogs to stop by 🙂
Thanks Book Whisperer! 😀
Wow, those starts are very interesting. I’m tempted to do something similar at some point just to get the details. Super cool!
It was fun Amy – I picked u the idea from the BBC. It was interesting to see where most of my readers came from. It really made me realize that it is important to connect with other bloggers – I like to do that anyway! 🙂
How in the world did you figure out how to do all those graphs and charts and… That would have taken me an entire day.
Inquiring minds want to know. 🙂
Lynne – I cant take any credit for it – I was using Google docs for the survey and I thought I would have to hand tally the results when I clicked a button on the form and it converted it for me! 😀
Copy and paste – two of my favorite things to do! LOL
No way, that is so cool that it does that.
😀
Fun answers! So, what did you learn from these results? Any changes you plan to implement based on this information?
Hannah I was surprised by how many found me through other blogs – not surprised that is was the largest section of readers, but just by how much larger it was.
Whats also interesting is about 4 months ago I changed my reading up a bit and have learned to be more choosy when I accept a book to review and I think that brought me to a better place in my reviews and it looks like my readers enjoy it too :).
Seeing the genre mix is just fun because I am an eclectic reader and cover most of those genres, although was surprised that mysteries took the top spot.
The broom question was random and fun and I got a lot of comments on that that cracked me up. 🙂
I think it will be really interesting to run this same (or similar) survey again in time and see how things change…
I love looking at stats, and now you’ve made me curious about who looks at my blog. You may have started a trend here.
I hope so Kathy – it would be fun to see what other blogs stats are 🙂
Well, that was intriguing…I am glad to finally know the answer to that question. I would have chosen some sort of computer software, but finally said I didn’t know. Since I haven’t read the Harry Potter books (although I did see some of the movies), I guess I wouldn’t know.
Love the graphs and charts.
Laurel – thanks – the questions was a fun one as so many people know and love the Potter books – but not everyone has experienced them or even care to (oooh I shudder to think of it – LOL)
Interesting statistics Sheila. There are a lot of mystery readers. I haven’t read a mystery in years. I guess I better hit B&N this weekend…any excuse! 🙂 Are there any good mysteries you or your readers would recommend to get me hooked again?
Thanks Jill – I love a good mystery too! 😀
Hmmmm….. a good mystery….. two of my favorite authors along the mystery lines (Dean Koontz and Harlan Coben) both disappointed me in their most recent books.
I book I would recommend – not really a mystery but one of my all time favorites is Summerhouse by Jude Deveroux. I don’t think you would be disappointed. 🙂
I tweeted for good mysteries and here are some responses:
Think of a Number by Verdon or Damaged by Callow
Refuge on Crescent Hill (Christian Fiction)
Any book written by Henning Mankell
Books by Dorothy Sayers’ Peter Wimsey
Thank so much for all of the selections. I’ll write down the titles and authors. I actually have Summerhouse on my TBR bookshelf. Thanks! 🙂
It is so steamy hot here on the East Coast…after yardwork we are going out to dinner to a favorite quiet bistro…
Sounds good Patty. Its pretty warm here too…. lots of outdoor things I could be doing but it feels like walking through soup to do it.
Have a wonderful time. Al should be home soon and it is his pick as to wear we do dinner tonight.
It was fun seeing the results and the hilarious HP answers!
It was fun Staci – I am sure these are book questions out there I would be stumped on too 🙂
This is very cool! I love your graphs. Keep doing what you do — it’s terrific. 😉
Thanks laughingstars66!!!
Interesting results. will be interesting to see if things change much in 6 months.
I know, that is why you are doing it.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Thanks Pat – you too 🙂
So interesting – thanks for sharing the results!
Sure 🙂
Interesting to see the results! My blog anniversary is coming up and I might have to try conducting a similar survey. Although I’m not quite sure that my blog has a large enough following. Yet.
Very interesting results! I’ll be curious how things change (or not)! And, love the answers to the Harry Potter question!
