December 2021

23 works reviewed. 13 by women (57% ), 10 by men (43 %), 0 by a non-binary author (0%), 0 by authors whose genders are unknown (0%), and by 8 POC (35%)

Year to Date

260 works reviewed. 141.5 by women (54%), 110.5 by men (43%), 5 by non-binary authors (2%), 3 by authors whose gender is unknown (1%), and 103 by POC (40%)

Grand Total to Date

2008 works reviewed. 1,124 by women (56%), 840 by men (42%), 26 by non-binary authors (1%), 18 by authors whose gender is unknown (1%), 574.75 by POC (29%).

Chart after cut. Short version, total numbers up slightly over previous years (save for 2015, which is an outlier), hit most of my goals for this year (in particular, reaching Review 2000), but I am a little disappointed I didn’t find time for more works by non-binary authors. That can be a goal for 2022.

I also didn’t quite get enough votes to be a Hugo finalist, falling short by five. That too can be a goal for 2022
