Happy Friday!!! It's time to blog hop :)
The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books
Friday Follow is hosted by Parajunkee
ABOUT THE HOP:
In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky at Crazy-For-Books!!
The Super Duper Easy Rules of the Hop:
1. Grab the logo
2. Enter your blog in the Linky at Crazy-For-Books
3. Post about it on your blog and answer the weekly question
This week's question is:
Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
I do use a rating system for my reviews because I like to give a quick snapshot of my feelings about each book. I try to rate every book I review between 1 and 5, with 5 being as close to perfect as a book can be and a definite own and reread and 1 meaning I couldn't finish (the complete explanation is in the left sidebar). I use bookcases instead of stars, because I wanted to be a little different and as a librarian I'm surrounded by them everyday at woek. My rating system is definitely not perfect and sometimes I find it hard to rate each book, so I do use half bookcases as well. Eventually I would love to get a visual rating system.

ReplyDeleteDecided to follow you after I saw your site. I am originally from Upstate NY. I don't have a regular rating system. Sometimes, it will help me express something about a book to make one up just for that book. Reading some Romance and erotica I seem to make use of the Hot Pepper Scoville Units scale a lot as in "that's as hot as a scotch bonnet." I have a contest happening and I hope you will stop by. I am closing in on 300 followers so I would love your help! Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust
