Dear readers, as fun as this trip down memory lane, looking at my top 12 most popular posts of the past 20 years of book blogging has been, it’s taking way too long for me to get these all up. I’d really like to get back to sharing my current reading with you as well! So, I’m going to wrap this up in just two more posts. I hope you enjoy, and thank you all for reading with me!

This 2021 post was inspired both by a similar post at Reading Middle Grade and my reality as a parent of kids with ADHD and dyslexia who nonetheless love fantasy, and as a librarian seeing kids come in with reading projects that they’ve left until the last minute. It’s gotten 439 views, for an average 176 a year.

I put together lists of Asian-American graphic novels for several years, most recently in 2021. (It’s probably time for an update!) Probably due to search engine logic, this one from 2017 gets more views than the most recent two, despite my updating the older versions to include links to the newer ones. I used to find this frustrating and am now more amused. This one has gotten 1,288 views for 184 views a year.

My number 4 post here, books for fans of role-playing games, includes a mix of fantasy and realistic books, some that explicitly involve RPGs, and some whose ensemble casts felt to me like they could easily be adapted into games. All of these are books that I’ve personally very much enjoyed. This list was published in September 2020, and has gotten 695 views since then, for 199 views a year.
