Why I Am Quitting The Star Ratings
A lot of people have been doing this lately and I think there is some kind of bandwagon forming.
As of late, I have read a lot of books that warrant a lower rating than my average but I still enjoyed them so much that I ended up giving it 5 stars. I think it is getting more and more difficult to give books star ratings. Each book has it own merits and I am slowly starting to dislike how I’m boxing my books into star ratings.
I look at my shelf sometimes where I have a lot of 5 star books but none of have that for the same reasons. I am also quite forgiving with books when it comes to ratings so sometimes I would push to say that I feel that my star ratings are not trustworthy sometimes!
So, all this comes down to me getting rid of start ratings and just saying whether I would recommend or not.
What are your thoughts on the whole saga with star ratings?
The Mandatory Back To School Post
This is a short one for you all, I hope you have had a great weekend! As many of you know, I am going back to school this week. I have had a year out so I am definitely going to be up to my neck in work! This is not a I won’t be here post, it is just that I don’t know what is going to happen time wise. There are posts scheduled up until late November (summer well spent?) This is just until I get my schedule sorted and make sure I have time for everything!
Any tips for all of you that school and blog?
I hope you have all had a great summer!
Maybe I will be back sooner than I think – let’s see!
