This month was an exciting month for W.L. Swarts Reviews The Universe in that we formed a new relationship (Thanks so much to Sheila G’s for their entire product line of Brownie Brittle for review!) and got some great new product in from Jelly Belly jelly bean corporation for review. We might not have broken any records for the blog this month, but it was a substantive month of reviews with a decent chunk of reviews in the docket for a (hopefully) uninterrupted February!
This month at W.L. Swarts Reviews The Universe, there we had no new additions to the Top Ten Of All Time. This month, we put special emphasis on food, new Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes, the musical works of Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell and Star Trek: Enterprise episodes! Thanks for all the "likes" for those posts, as well as all of the new hits on older reviews!
This month our subscribers remained solid – thanks for that! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe, so if you enjoy what you're reading, please subscribe by clicking on the right side of the blog to get updates with each posting. As well, if you read a review that really affects you, be sure to "share" it!

I pride myself on being an exceptionally fair reviewer, but one who is very discriminating. I believe that most reviewers are far too biased toward both what is current and toward unduly praising things. I tend to believe most things actually are average and they ought to follows something around a Bell Curve. Mine is a little lopsided, but not as lopsided as most reviewers I know (who would probably have peak numbers between ten and seven)!
For my reviews, the current count is:
10s - 285 reviews
9s - 410 reviews
8s - 782 reviews
7s - 869 reviews
6s - 790 reviews
5s - 1040 reviews
4s - 752 reviews
3s - 603 reviews
2s - 267 reviews
1s - 191 reviews
0s - 86 reviews
No rating - 61 articles/postings
There was a decent amount of movement this month, but there were no new entries into the Top Ten. At the end of January 2014, the most popular reviews/articles I have written are:
10. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
9. Safe Haven
8. Oz The Great And Powerful
7. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bone

4. Now You See Me
3. Tyler Perry's Temptation
