July 2017 End Of The Month Report!

| | |
July was an interesting month for us - it was feast or famine. Our output was admittedly erratic - we did a show, got a new canine member of our family, and had a huge new set of trading cards to process, all of which cut into our reviewing time. That said, we reviewed a bunch of the new Hallmark ornaments for this year, a new Netflix television series, most of the first season episodes of American Gods and several new films in theaters. It has been a pretty exciting month for us and we're pleased to say we have some really awesome reviews coming up in the pipeline!

We are adapting the Amazon product links as we reference old reviews now. Most of the links have been properly converted and the reviews now have the right products associated with them. We appreciate our readers sticking with us through Amazon reconfiguring, which is likely to be ongoing for a bit longer!

This month, we picked up one new follower on Twitter, but no new subscribers! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe, so if you enjoy what you're reading on the blog, 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! PLEASE share a link to the blog, not the content of the article; this keeps people coming to the site and, hopefully, liking what they find once they are here! We're slowly growing our readership, so sharing and subscribing to the blog is an important way you can help! If you’re subscribing, please tell your friends about the blog!

In July, we updated the index pages every few days, keeping them quite useful to our readers. The primary Index Page, is usually updated daily and lets you know what the featured review is and has an up-to-the-day tally of how many reviews have been reviewed in each category! Check it out and feel free to use that as it is a much more useful and organized index to the reviews I've written!

If you enjoy the reviews, please consider clicking on the links in the reviews and purchasing items. We really appreciate all the purchases made through the blog as that keeps us going. As back to school shopping begins, if you're going shopping online, please come through the blog to to it. Thank you so much!

The Featured Reviews For The Month of July is my review of: 2017 Ursula The Little Mermaid Ornament!
Check it out!


The month of July was packed with new, highly-read reviews, especially because of Hallmark's ornament preview weekend and the Twin Peaks revival! For July, the Top Ten Reviews of the month were:
10. "The Bone Orchard" - American Gods
9. 2017 Lavender Luxe Limited Edition Barbie Hallmark Ornament
8. Travelers - Season 1
7. "The Return Part 10" - Twin Peaks
6. "The Doctor Falls" - Doctor Who
5. "The Return Part 12" - Twin Peaks
4. "The Return Part 11" - Twin Peaks
3. Glow - Season 1
2. You Get Me
1. Friends From College - Season 1

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 - 331 reviews
9s - 521 reviews
8s - 1006 reviews
7s - 1117 reviews
6s - 1048 reviews
5s - 1324 reviews
4s - 992 reviews
3s - 777 reviews
2s - 379 reviews
1s - 251 reviews
0s - 121 reviews
No rating - 140 articles/postings

There was a decent amount of movement this month, but no new additions to the all time Top Ten Reviews! At the end of July 2017, the most popular reviews/articles are:
10. Oz The Great And Powerful
9. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bone
8. Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events - Season 1
7. Warm Bodies
6. Iron Man 3
5. Now You See Me
4. Tyler Perry's Temptation
3. The Burden Of Being Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
1. Man Of Steel
