How I Rate Books on My Blog

My Completely Arbitrary, Mood-Dependent Book Rating System ✨

Some books deserve banishment, others legend and I’ve created a system to sort them all!

No logic, no math — just vibes, magic, and whether I would haunt someone to get them to read it. Scroll down to see how each level of the star system works, and maybe find your next legendary read.


1 Star – Banished to the Shadow Realm

If this book rose from the grave, I’d grab a shovel.  It didn’t work for me at all, and I would not recommend it.


✨✨ 2 Stars – The Potion Came Out Lumpy

Not terrible, but far from magical.  Some parts had potential, yet mostly I wanted it to end.  Others might enjoy it, but it didn’t land for me.


✨✨✨ 3 Stars – Respectable Quest Companion

Reliable and readable.  Got me from Point A to Point B alive. Solid, enjoyable, but not remarkable. I would likely recommend it.


✨✨✨✨ 4 Stars – Worthy of a Bard’s Ballad

Adventure! Emotion! A sprinkle of terror! Strong, fun, and memorable.  Definitely worth recommending.


✨✨✨✨✨5 Stars – Crowned Ruler of the TBR Kingdom

Legendary.  I would haunt people with this book. Absolutely loved it, highly recommend, and would re-read without hesitation.


And that, my friends, is the completely arbitrary, mood-dependent way I rate books! Now you’re ready to dive into my other Blog Posts with a little insight into the method behind my madness.
