Rating Scale

When it came time to design a book rating system, I thought long and hard about how I wanted to assess these portable pieces of magic. There's the typical star rating or the numerical rating or the school grades system, but that didn't speak to me. I wanted something that fit my personality!

I am a lady who loves coffee, cupcakes, and all things sparkly. I stay up way past my bedtime to finish books and love happy endings. Because of who I am, this is how I've decided to rate the books I read and review.

This is a book that you need in your life right now! No exceptions. You will end up with a book hangover from reading this. [covet it & don't lend it to others]

This book is a quick read with lots of laughs and love and feelings and all things perfect. There is a slight chance that you will get a book hangover. [buy & lend it to others]

This is a nice read that will keep you entertained and involved, but it isn't quite what I was hoping for/needing. You could possibly get a book hangover, but it's not too likely. [borrow it]

This book was very slow. I either pushed through it to the end or didn't finish the book at all. There is no chance of a book hangover. [pass on reading it; go shopping instead]
