Fragment Friday: Infinite Days

August 27, 2010 by Arena Blake 19 Comments

Happy Friday everyone!
That means it’s time for Fragment Friday, a weekly event hosted by Book Chic Club where we read passages from books that we’re currently reading or that we love!
Check out my pick:
Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel
*****
It’s time for the Book Blogger Hop from Crazy for Books!
Today’s question:Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

I do — it’s a five star rating system. You can see it over there —–>

Click on the different ratings and you’ll get a list of books that have each rating.

I chose this system because it’s similar to the system used by Goodreads.

It makes it easier for me to categorize books in my head.

Most of my ratings are four- to five-star ratings. Why? It’s not because I’m easy on the books, but because I specifically select books to review that interest me. If I choose a book to review, I’m probably going to like it. 🙂

*****

And Follow Friday from Parajunkee!
If you’re a new follower, leave me a comment letting me know, and I’ll follow you back!Also!

While you’re here, don’t forget to enter my Waiting on Mockingjay giveaway to win fabulous Hunger Games accessories!

Happy Friday everyone!

    I was lucky enough to attend Rebecca's launch party where she read this same scene. Really to move it up on Mt TBR!

    Already a follower but just hopping on by! I also use a 5-star system – it's simple and works (at least for the most part!)
