Review System

For all those who may look at the starred reviews and wonder "WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY FOUR?" I'm going to lay out the basics of the rudimentary review system that I use.

I am using a five star system.

What do the different colors mean?

There are two different colors that I will use for my stars RED and PURPLE.

RED: THIS BOOK IS ON FIRE!!! This is the equivalent of an extra half of a star. For example, if I give a book  (four red stars) I actually consider it to be a four and a half star book because I LOVED it, just didn't want to give it the full five. I will most probably read this book again at some point.

PURPLE: This book was great, it just didn't earn the extra half star. Although the story was wonderful, I may not feel the compulsion to re-read the book. So if I give a book (four purple stars) the book would just be a four star review

What do the different number of stars mean?

      THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING.  These books are the ones that I find myself wanting to go back to a day after I finish and fantasizing over possible conclusions and character developments. Very highly recommended.

         I LOVED THIS BOOK. It may have not delivered that extra zing that the five star books do, but will no doubt keep me up reading at night when I really should be studying. Highly recommended.

✪             This book was really interesting. Maybe the concept wasn't as fully developed or the writing just didn't connect with me, but these are still great books. Recommended.

✪                It was on okay book. I probably put this book down to finish others I found more interesting. Either the storyline really didn't connect, or I found the writing style distracting. Slightly recommended.

✪                   I didn't like this book. I did not finish this book. The storyline did not interest me or was poorly put together and found the writing distracting as well. I wouldn't recommend this book.
