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.

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…
