REVIEW MECHANICS

I primarily post reviews on this site, My Bookish Escapades, on Goodreads and on Amazon.  Reading updates are also posted on Twitter and on Goodreads.

RATING SYSTEM 

5 stars

I LOVED IT. Love the writing. Love the plot. Love the characters. Love everything. A re-read (maybe even several) is definitely happening. I highly recommend it. There's just no reason for you not to read this. Must-read!

4 stars

I liked it a lot. It's near perfect but for a very few, very small issue/s not worth mentioning. A re-read some time in the future is in order.

3 stars 

It's good. Average good. I enjoyed it but there were some issues I've had that I might pinpoint and enumerate in my official review.

2 stars 

Meh. For some unknown reason and by some miracle (who knows) I read the whole book. (Or maybe that's just me being stubborn.) Nevertheless, I do not recommend the book and I will not read it again. Also if it's part of a series, I most probably will not continue with the rest of it.

1 star 

Nope. No. I did not like it at all. Why did I even read this?!? Ugh, all those hours I could never take back. Enough said, next.

DNF/ Did Not Finish 

I generally don't leave a review for books I mark DNF since I didn't even read the entirety of the book. Although in some instances I do leave a very short review (it's more of a few sentences of rant really), when there are some things about the book that I just have to verbalize.

* * * Disclaimer 

I acquire books I review thru one of three ways- I purchased them myself, I got them from review sites (e.g. Netgalley or Edelweiss+), or I received them from publishers/ authors. 

This site contains affiliate links. I am an Amazon and Bookshop affiliate. I receive a small commission (with no additional cost to you) when you make a purchase thru these links.
