Blog Hop (8/27/10)

The Blog Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.

Book Blogger Hop

This week's question is:

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

We use a five star rating system here at I'd So Rather Be Reading.  Why?  Because we appreciate honest opinions.

Didn't finish it.

Finished but did not like.

It was okay.

Slightly better than okay.

Liked it.
Would recommend.

It was really good.
It was great.

It was close to perfection.

Stalker Worthy: It was perfection and I can't stop thinking about it!  This is the highest honor a book can get here at I'd So Rather Be Reading.

I'm off to hop around and see how other people rate their books!  Have a great weekend everyone!  Oh, don't forget to sign up for our August giveaways, ending Aug 31st.  You can win a "Fictional MEN Never Let You Down" t-shirt or an autographed copy of Close to His Heart by Leonora Pruner (historical Christian fiction)!

  1. hahah I love "stalker worthy!" My rating system isn't as defined, but I think that's simply because I'm so wordy haha

  3. Me too Kelli! I'm waiting for one more person to join my blog so I can have 100 people. When I started with 12 I never thought I'd get here and now I keep checking every minute to see if that last person has joined.

    I don't have a rating system b/c I seem to give only 4's and 5's on Good Reads so I don't really think I'm good at the rating thing. I'd rather just give and honest review and hope someone reads it. I've got to work on shortening my reviews (and comments).

  4. Hey Kelli!

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'm glad you like my rating system (and my profile picture, of course!)

    I like your stars as well. Purple's my favorite color, so I think they're lots of fun!

    I hope you guys both have a great weekend!

  14. Stalker Worthy is great, I agree some books are just better than a 5. Still Alice by Lisa Genova is one I can think of.

    Have a great weekend.
