Rating System

Goodreads Rating
1- N/A (I don't finish books I hate enough to give 1 star.)
2- Didn't like it, there were things wrong with it, but not so much I had to stop reading it.
3- General catch-all rating. Didn't dislike it, but didn't like it either.
4- Liked it.
5-  Uh. May. Zing!

Blog Rating
(Note: Currently working on a different rating scale, but have not figured it out yet.)

I grade on a scale of 1-10. 1 is the lowest, 10 is the highest.

Please note it is unlikely you will see a rating of 1 or 2. Most books that would achieve this low of a score from me are not finished.

  • 2 means I hated the whole thing and felt there were no redeemable qualities.
  • 1 means all of that plus (a bag of chips) it was completely unreadable.

It's also unlikely you will see a 10. It's not that the perfect book doesn't exist, but most of my 10s are books that have been with me for a while. I've read them more than once. No matter what, the first time I read a book, it can not be a 10. It can only obtain that status once I've read it a second time and STILL enjoy it just as much as the first time I read it.

While I have not done it here, I do reserve the right to review books I don't finish. These books will not receive a number grade and the reason for not finishing will be given. This will only apply to books that I have gotten to at least the 25% mark or 100 pages if the book is especially long.
At this point in time (June 6, 2017), I do not have plans to do this, but, hey, you never know.
