This is the allocation of SPFBO 11 books to blogs.
Visit the homepage for all the background.
If someone makes a handy Goodreads list, I'll dig a little deeper into ratings, age etc.
There will be some swapping & replacement for a few days as conflicts with bloggers and with the rules are identified.
But first, some traditional stats/demographics:
The male/female ratio was essentially equal last year - strangely, this year it has swung significantly towards male!
There has been a very small increase in audiobook percentage (19.5%, up from 18.7%)
And here's the familar word cloud from the titles, with DRAGON, DARK, BLOOD and SHADOW continuing as perennial favourites!
