I’ve never been shy about the fact that I like lists. I like them at home. I like them at work.
And apparently, I like them on my blog.
I’ve been blogging for nearly two years now (!), and on a whim, I did a search to see how many list-type posts I’ve done.
Want to know the answer?
13. At least.
And that’s not including any of my Five for Friday posts. Or the posts I wrote for The Bump.
Okay, that’s a little crazy.
But I find lists fun to write, and they’re an entertaining — and quick — read. As a writer, I feel I have more freedom to be a little snarkier and (I hope) wittier with a list post than I can in my more narrative or diary-like posts.
And did I mention they were fun?
Here are all the “list posts” I’ve written to date, in reverse chronological order (as you see, I apparently have a bit of a fascination with the number 10):
