Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
Well, I do use a rating system but it's quite subjective to my tastes.
What I mean by that is that, my rating depends mostly on how much I enjoyed that book and how much I enjoyed it in comparision to other books by the same author or in a series. Beyond that, if you notice, most of my reviews are really possitive, because I think I just naturally gravitate toward books I know I'll like (International Shipping is just too darn expensive not to take care about the books I buy); plus, when I don't like a book at all or can't finish it I simply don't review it, and I also don't review everything I read if it was only so-so.
Anyway, I chose my rating system (Which can be viewed in detail here) mostly to group the reviews and the books in a scale. Sounds silly but I like everything well cathegorized! I'm a bit crazy when it comes to that.

Happy Friday!! I love your rating system, your last star "meh" made me giggle because I could just imagine that one shoulder shrug. Hope you enjoy your weekend and I'm a new follower.

Just hopping through. It's interesting that you don't review all the books you read. I tend to because to me it's just as important to know the not-so-great from the wonderful. Then again, it's all really about opinions anyway!
