October 30, 2012 by Travis Jonker   13 comments

Next week marks the fifth anniversary of when I started this blog, I’d like to finally find out who reads this thing.

I’ve seen reader polls on other sites and they look like a good time. Not Battle of the Bookmarks good, but still pretty good.

Therefore! If you’re up for a little pre-election polling practice, please answer the questions below. The poll will be open until 10 pm EST on Friday, November 2. I’ll share the results next week.

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED

    Great poll, Mr. Jonker! 🙂

      Thanks, John – your extensive Google form use has inspired me

    Warning: the decade-of-birth drop-down menu also responds to the “page down” button. So if you try to scroll down the page to look at the next question using the arrow key, you’ll accidentally make yourself older!

    You need an option for “I am a… parent”.

    • Travis says

      October 30, 2012 at 6:56 pm

      I agree – it has been added!

      • Elizabeth Fama says

        October 30, 2012 at 7:32 pm

        I don’t suppose you should break down the “in publishing” category further to include “I am an author”?

        • Travis says

          October 30, 2012 at 7:35 pm

          Just added! Author/illustrator choice toward the bottom of the I’m… question

    Polls are fun!

    The first question was the hardest, since I am more than one thing. And one of the things that I am that wasn’t there was “a reader of children’s books because I like to read children’s books.”

    The last question, though, was easy peasy!!!

    I selfishly want a category for “blogging picture-book reviewer pre-published author parent with MLS.”

    • Travis says

      October 31, 2012 at 7:21 am

      Ha – if I could figure out a way to make the question a “select all that apply” I would

      • Julie Falatko says

        I totally wanted the favorite-kind-of-book and who-do-I-want-to-meet questions to be ranked choice voting. And I ended up picking “parent” in question 1, because it was the only label that didn’t require “almost” or “kinda” as a qualifier.

  7. Karen says

    I agree that being able to pick more than one option in the first question would be ideal, but fun poll!

    The last question was easy for me as well, I love Sendak but books with fun wordplay will always be my very favorites.
