But at the end of the day it comes down to the reading experience and how strongly I want to recommend a book, I suppose.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191122506568430650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-52309980529609310922012-01-14T13:42:19.739+10:002012-01-14T13:42:19.739+10:00I struggled with it too - I use them but I don'...I struggled with it too - I use them but I don't make a feature of them and I have a page expalaining what the ratings mean to me.<br /><br />I would think its not worth the stress if it annoys you that much tho :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-11686073924565030502012-01-14T09:58:26.975+10:002012-01-14T09:58:26.975+10:00Thanks guys.

I figured no one would care much but I thought I'd check the general thoughts out there before deleting a whole bunch of review ratings. <br /><br />Thanks for understanding!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-55425941547355604162012-01-14T06:47:31.709+10:002012-01-14T06:47:31.709+10:00I used a rating system when I first started my blo...I used a rating system when I first started my blog last April, but it just doesn't work for me. I found it too subjective - like, I never assigned a 'meaning' to each number of stars, so I might like two books the same, but assign them different ratings on a whim. Does that even make sense?<br /><br />With regards to READING reviews, I don't pay the slightest bit of attention to ratings. I read the review and that's good enough for me! Aside from anything else - if it's stressing you out, definitely don't bother. It's just that simple.Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-60554952373480884832012-01-14T00:42:46.584+10:002012-01-14T00:42:46.584+10:00Well...

I have never rated books just because I don't really know how to like assign a number to a book, and I think I would definitely suffer from needing to rate two books the same only I liked one way better because it would all get bad.<br /><br />So, that made no sense. But anyway, I think, personally, ditch the ratings because it's not worth stressing over and it's haaaard, and hard things aren't worth it either (NO ONE MAKE A PENIS JOKE RIGHT NOW). Um, so yeah. I say ditch. Hope that was helpful :sLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.com
