Book Blogger Buddies Meme

Hi all! I'm She a newbie book blogger although I'm not new to blogging in general. I like to read coming-of-age stories, whether YA, New Adult or Contempory. I also like memoirs. I'm in need of a good book review rating system. If you have any pointers, please post a comment! I need all the help I can get in that area! I just read Austenland: A Novel by Shannon Hale. I hate to say it, but although I loved the book concept, I liked the movie version better.

Please visit every book blogger on the list below and leave them a useful comment. This meme is all about connecting with other book bloggers! If you're reading this, and you'd like to join in, follow the instructions below!

Or, if you need help with something, ask a question to your readers. Example - How did you decide on your rating system?

  1. I found it really hard to make my rating system too and I am still not happy with it. I think its best to look around at other rating systems and keep it simple :)

  2. Thank you for adding me to the list :) I appreciate it and will def. get do this soon.

    Rating systems are tough, but I just use the simple 5 star system. I don't really have a breakdown of criteria for each star given, I just go with what I feel like the book deserves.

  3. I don't like the typical 5 star ratings at all, find it hard to put my feelings about a book in 1-5 stars and 3 stars for some is already considered a bad review. So I dont have a rating system at the moment. But I also heard that Google searches more easily pick up your blog if you do have a rating system.
