Welcome back, it’s lovely to see you again! And if you are new here, welcome, I am so pleased you have landed on my page. For today’s post I am comparing my Top 10 favourite books I read throughout the year to Goodreads Top 10 books by average rating. Thought it’d be interesting to see how different my taste in books is compared to everyone else “out there”. So, get a cuppa, sit back and enjoy the ride. My Top 10 books of 2020 In my yearly wrap up post, I already introduced you to the Top 3, so I won’t be including them in this list. However, you are…

How Do I Rate Books | 30 Days of April #10
Since I started logging all the books I read, I’ve always used a 5 star rating system. The trouble with rating the books that way though is that everyone has their own ways of deciding what the numbers mean to them. Say we both loved the book and I gave it a solid 5, but according to your system you will only give it a 4. I know a lot of reviewers analyse the book to it’s core to give it a rating. I haven’t developed a criteria as such yet and generally just go with how I feel about the book when I finish it. I’m still very-very new to…
