I have decided that I am going to start using a rating system in my reviews. I feel that this would help me better portray my feelings about the books. I got the thing about prices from another blog, but I'm not sure which one. If it is yours, I promise I am not trying to steal it, and feel free to take credit!
Here is my new rating system:
5- Amazing book. I would pay full price for this book. It is going in my permanent collection and I will probably re-read it.
4- Great book. I would buy with a coupon. I would give it away to my blogger friends or readers.
3- Good book. I would buy from the bargain shelf.
2- Meh. It held my attention enough to not put it down, but probably not enough to fully enjoy it. I would borrow it from the library.
1- Bad. I most likely did not get through it. It's not worth buying or the drive to the library.
Great idea! I've used a 5 star rating system since I started my blog, but I've decided to switch to a letter grade system. That way there are still five basic options (A, B, C, D, or F), but I can clarify for with adding a + or - to the end. Gives me a little more flexibility.
ReplyDeleteI started using a rating system when I had my blog re-designed, and I like it. And -- I also use "Meh" for one of mine. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea!
ReplyDeleteI've always had a rating system (similar to yours but with 1/2 steps), but I've never designated what they meant.
