I have devised a rating system for what I read. It’s not a traditional rating system, but it works for me and mine.
- Hardback worthy – I would purchase this book or the other’s other books in hardback without an issue.
- Paperback only – This was enjoyable, but I would not purchase it in hardcover.
- Comfort read – Keep and will read again repeatedly
- Guilty Pleasure – This one may not appeal to all people, but I will keep it and re-read it as the whim strikes me.
- Recommend -Good book, most possibly excellent. But something about the subject matter does not make me want to pull it out and read it when I have had a crap day and want to escape. Will willing pass it on and recommend it to others.
- Brain Candy – Enjoyed the read, was worth the entertainment value, it will be donated to the library for others to enjoy.
- Series read: Continue – I bought it because it’s in a series and I enjoyed one of the previous books in the series. I will continue with the series.
- Series Breaker – This book soured me on the series and it will take quite a bit of effort to draw me back into the series.
- Ho-Humm – It was just there, I had to struggle to finish it.
- Not my thing -I either tried to read this in the wrong phase of the moon or the subject matter did not suit me at the time. I may try again, will shelve until I have a firm decision.
- Bleh– This book was just bleh.
- Pitch it across the room – Something in this book offended me so much that I won’t finish it.
