• Writing Reviews – My Rating System

  

  The longer I’ve been writing book reviews, the more confused I get with my own rating system. Rating are hard. I really struggle with them. Since I use Goodreads a lot (shameless plug- add me as a friend), I wanted to keep things consistent and rate every book out of 5 stars. However, with so…
