A note on my rating system

Goodreads and Amazon qualify the stars of their rating systems differently, which I find very frustrating! Especially since the former now belongs to the latter, you would think there would be some consistency. But on Goodreads, 2 stars means "it was ok", whereas on Amazon, 3 stars means "it was ok." I personally like to use the Goodreads system, if only because I began rating books there first.

Just to make things fun, I use a book image instead of stars. (Fun, right?) And then because I'm lacking inspiration at the moment, I shall call these 'booksies', and they shall be my booksies.

Here is my breakdown: 1 booksy = I did not like it (usually meaning I actively disliked it); 2 booksies = it was okay (basically I didn't like it all that much, but didn't hate it); 3 booksies = I liked it; 4 booksies = I really liked it; and 5 booksies = I loved it (usually reserved for my favorite books of all time.)


Also, in each post I put a link to buy the book on Amazon.com, but that doesn't mean that is the only place to find it. I also include links to each author's website, which would be the best place to see all sellers for their books.
