Bookish sort that enjoys long bus rides for the people watching, scenery, and solitude for reading.
I may cross-post reviews from my personal blog at www.blairsbookblog.com. Also at Mastodon.
How I rate:
1: Did not finish. I couldn’t find the care to finish the book, and likely had to resist the urge to throw it across the room. I may have yelled at the book.
2: I didn’t like the book. But I finished it! I wouldn’t recommend it.
3: I felt that the book was okay. I think it had some problems, but it mostly worked. I might recommend it as something to try, but not necessarily love.
4: I liked the book. I may have minor problems with it, but I still recommend that you try reading it.
5: I enjoyed the book, I stayed up late reading it, and I’d consider buying a copy (or already did). I strongly recommend that you read it.
