The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly thing going on over at Crazy-for-Books. Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee. If you're a new blogger, like I am, or have been blogging for a while, stop by the sites and get involved!
--------------------------------------------
Weekly question: Do you use a rating system for your reviews, and if so, what is it and why?
Yes, I use a rating system based upon 5 stars. You can see a few more details to the right, on the sidebar. I use ratings loosely. I don't believe that you can judge a book based upon its rating - to me, the review itself is more important.
Enchanted. What a great concept. New follower!

Alissa, I agree with you about the ratings. I think the review means more too but I think they are useful if you haven't read the book yet and are just checking to see if it's worth your time.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
My Hop
I agree that the review is more important. I use the 1-5 rating as well, but it's just to make rating on other review sites easier for me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

Thanks for the comment on my hop post. I'm now a follower! =)
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping by my blog and reading my review on Her Fearful Symmetry . I'll admit it isn't as good as The Time Traveller's Wife but it's such a quick read that it's definitely worth the time.
I love your blog and will definitely be following, not least because one of my pet peeves is the misuse of the apostrophe and you seem to be a kindred grammar spirit!
Have a great weekend, Lit Addicted Brit
Here for the Hop! I do not use a rating system. No two books are alike, unless they have the same author. I absolutely love the background! Super fun.

Hello! Just stopping by from the hop. I'm a new follower. I love that your site promotes good grammar! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
I'm stopping by from the blog hops!
ReplyDeleteI use letter grades to rate my books and I find other people's rating systems to be very helpful. I follow a lot of blogs and being able to see a rating graphically definitely helps me when I'm reading and commenting on reviews. Have a good weekend!
