Book Blogger Hop (7) ~August 27th-30th

     Another week, another Friday (can you hear the sigh?). I actually had a pretty good week though. I just didn't have enough time to read as much as I would have liked.
     Mockingjay came out Tuesday, can you believe it? I cannot wait to read it! Lucky for me, I won my second contest ever and the prize was... Mockingjay! Thanks so much to Mrs. DeRaps over at DeRaps Reads.
     How was your week? Fantastic I hope.
Book Blogger HopThanks to Crazy-for-Books!
Question of the Week:
     Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

Answer:
     I do use a rating system. I think it helps give readers a better understanding of just how much I liked or disliked a book. It goes from 1 (being the worst) to 10 (being the best). You can see it in my left sidebar. Notice how witty I was trying to be? Yeah, we all know I failed miserably at that one...  ;)


     Have a great weekend! Happy hopping and reading!

Found your blog through the Hop! :)

I think rating systems can be pretty useful for a quick look at what a blogger thinks of a book!

I'm trying to come up with a rating system. I have one I stole from an online group, but I'm not really sure of the copyright laws for book rating systems.

I'm a new follower!

Hope you'll stop in, too.
