Book Blogger Hop (13) & Follow Friday (6)

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! It's time for the Book Blogger Hop. This is hosted by the fabulous Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books. If you would like to participate click on the link and sign up on her blog.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
Yes, I do have a ratings system but I do plan to change it soon. I made it myself and it's just 1-5 stars. I did it so that people can glance at a review without having to read every single word to know, generally, how I felt about the book. Plus, most sites (Goodreads, Amazon, etc.) have a ratings system as well and it just makes things easier. Eventually I will probably change the design of my ratings system, or add more details to it because sometimes pinpointing a rating can be difficult.






I decide to do the Follow Friday as well. This is hosted by the wonderful Parajunkee! You can click on the button to sign up.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! 
 Giveaways







Lots of fun stuff planned for this week and the big Halloween announcement will be up tomorrow! :) 
Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. Hey Jessica! I'm an old follower, but I wanted to drop in and say hi!

    Eek! You're reading Mockingjay! I'm SO jealous. I've been trying so hard to avoid spoilers until my copy gets here. So far, so good!

    P.S. I added you to my blogroll. I thought you were already on there, but I checked, and you weren't (GASP!), so I fixed that! Lol.

    Have a great weekend!

  20. Here for the Hop! I do not use a rating system. No two books are alike, unless they have the same author.

  23. Stopping by from the hop! I really like the stars system, but for my own blog I use a rating out of 100, which is... complex. lol
