Hmmm...I didn't get an email. I wonder if I have my don't harass me settings set to not get a link sent to me.
Doing the math myself my average rating this year appears to be 3.6. Given that I don't usually give 1s my average is really (5+2)/2 or 3.5 for an average. That's right around the 3.5 I would expect for that mathematical reason. I am pretty careful in my reading selection process. I did read a lot of spectacular books this year. 8 books got 5 stars this year. I blame Canada, 4 of them from 14 Canadian reads. Maybe I just love my country.

I'd say my most popular book (looking at GR average rating and number of reviews) would have been
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Just based on number of reviews it would be
The Road by Cormac McCarthy (one of my five-star reads this year.)
Average book length: 284 pages.
