This Week's Question:
Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
My Answer:
Yes, I do use a rating system for my reviews simply because I have a hard time explaining exactly how I feel about the book because I go on my own personal emotions as judge. My ratings (A-F) are given to explain how high the book rates on the awesome scale. I wish I had one of those super cute picture ratings, but I am not tech savy so I feel this rating system works well for me and helps me formulate exactly how I feel when a review just isn't enough. I don't finish books I don't connect with though so most of my ratings are A's and B's so maybe my rating system is pointless, but it makes me feel better if nothing else.
If you're here from the hop I hope you enjoy your stay! Be sure to leave a comment so I can find your blog and visit you. :)

Hey Christina!
I'm already following. I'm just dropping in to tell you hi!
I use a rating system as well. Personally, I prefer them, because they help me to better gage the blogger's reaction to a book.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Hi Christina! I'm an old follower, but I'm just stopping by on the hop :)
Although I make sure to read the full review, rating systems help me figure out how much I want to read a book. Like the review is an explanation, and the rating is the actual grade :)
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi, Christina!
Just hopping by! I'm already a follower of your blog.
Interesting rating system. The fancy rating pics are not required and I might go back to number system as well. :D
Cheers!

Yeah I'm an emotional reader and so it's sometimes hard putting a ranking. Sometimes it may be as simple as yay or nay. You can come by and check out my site whenever at http://thebookishsnob.blogspot.com
