My Rating System

Hi!

Before I dive into writing book reviews I thought it would be beneficial to go over quickly the rating system I use for all the books I’m reading. You can see in the image below a brief description per each rating, but we’ll go a little more in depth below.

One Star Rating:
Most of the time, this kind of book I didn’t even finish. Most likely I got a little bit into it and just couldn’t force myself to keep reading so it went straight into my DNF pile/donate bin. This is an extreme case as I do try to finish books in the hopes that it gets better. But you know that there are just some books that no matter how hard you try to read them it’s useless. And yes, these books make me so sad because I know that the author worked really hard on this book and I spent money on it so it’s sad all around.

Two Star Rating:
This book was okay enough for me to finish. I definitely wouldn’t attempt reading it again. It was also tough for me to get through but I did finish it and usually I’ll try to find some redeeming quality about it, though it might be a minuscule one.

Three Star Rating:
This kind of book was fine, didn’t wow me but wasn’t a total drag to get through. I also probably don’t regret buying this book and have a few things that I liked about it. I might also keep this book in my would recommend list on the off chance someone is looking for a book like it.

Four Star Rating:
This book was great. It had a lot of elements that I loved that also kept me reading. There might be a few things that threw me off from the book but would definitely recommend.

Five Star Rating:
This kind of book will always start with me saying “OMG THIS BOOK!” It was excellent and I loved every single minute of it like I couldn’t put it down kind of book. It kept me entertained or emotional through every page and when it was over I could easily go back to the beginning and read it all over again. This kind of book is the at the top of my recommendations list and I will drop the title at the mere inkling that someone wants to know a good book to read.
