I haven't had time to review most of the books I read in 2008 and 2009, but I plan to review all books in 2010 (we'll see how that goes!)
I did make notes of the books I read in 2009, but it'd take too long to blog all 104 of them (plus the ones I couldn't finish...)
Will try a rating scale this year, as I like the book blogs that have one:
***** = Favorite of all time (potential re-read)
**** = Great! But probably won't re-read
*** = It's okay... didn't waste my time
** = Not really for me... but others may like it
* = Ummm... why did I waste my time?
Note: I also abandon books... those will receive no stars. They aren't necessarily worse than 1 star, just that I couldn't finish for one reason or another so I don't feel right to rate them. I will explain why I can't finish though.
I don't usually re-read books (too many other books to read!) so it'll have to be a very special (to me) books to have 5 stars. I haven't come across many that'd only have 1 star. I try to be objective, but of course all reviews will be my own opinions only. I believe in honest reviews. Will my opinions change in the future? Possibly, but I'll rate the books as I read them at that time.
