September was a slow month traffic-wise, with only 4,861 views in total and with about 3,401 of those being unique page views.  That’s down from even August, which would be surprising except that the same thing happened last year.  However, once schools start their novel studies of The Hunger Games I think I can safely expect more views on my usual articles.

So what were the best articles in this pretty pathetic month?

1.  Why Girls Hate Game of Thrones—A Rebuttal

2.  How to Read 100 Pages in an Hour

3.  The Hunger Games and Ancient Rome

4.  The Day an Author Suggested I Kill Myself

5.  Discussion: The Most Overhyped Book (For You)

For the first time in a while, we have a discussion in the top five.  Considering the topic, it’s not all that surprising, but it is nice to see something new up there.  My author article about a certain jerk was also strangely popular, which leads me to believe that someone Googled his name and the word spread through their circle of friends.  Bringing up the incident in question isn’t my favourite thing ever, but if it keeps future reviewers from being victimized, I don’t mind all that much.

And what were the worst articles this month?

1.  Song of the Nile by Stephanie Dray

2.  Parsifal’s Page by Gerald Morris

3.  The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa

4.  Short Story: The Princess of Egypt Must Die by Stephanie Dray

5.  Now You See Them, Now You Don’t by Gordon Korman

Stephanie Dray is one of my favourite new authors, so it kind of hurts to see that two of her pieces of work were on the worst list.  But I’m not going to worry about it too much unless her name remains consistently on the list, which no author’s has in the past.  The ‘worst’ articles of the month change around, providing a nice contrast to the ‘best’ articles, which seem to never change.  It’s always nice to know that there’s something predictable out there.

So how was the month of September for you guys, life-wise and stats-wise?
