New Rating System

To make my reviews better, I'm going to start inlcuding a rating system of books. (I'm also going to go back and rate all my past reviews)

Here's my star ratings:

5 star=Go out and read this book now-you will love it!
4 star=It's a great read-you're sure to like it.
3 star=A good read-give this one a shot.
2 star=An okay book-some readers will like it.
1 star=Sorry, I didn't like it.

    I like the description of the stars. So polite, which is cool...because even if you don't like it, someone else might. I always try and keep that in mind.

    Yeah-I always tell myself that if I don't like it, I'm just not the intended reader. Someone will love it.

    I always like reviews better when there's a rating system.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits.

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed.
