Welcome fellow lovers of the Book Hop from Crazy for Books! Thanks for hopping by. Pull up a chair, sip some lovely frozen margaritas, and enjoy life. Hey it's 5pm somewhere, right?
This week's question is:
Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
I used to use a ratings system with up to 5 stars, but I stopped doing it because I didn't want to pin my review to a specific numeral. I'm of the camp that feels the reviews should speak for themselves, and readers of my reviews can interpret the content in whatever way they wish.
Which leads me to my question for you: Do you prefer reading reviews that have star ratings, or does it matter that much to you?

Found you from the hop and I'm your newest follower.
I love your blog, literally spent the last 20 minutes reading through it :)
I agree with what you say about using a rating system - I think a review should speak for itself. I use a rating system mostly for myself but it's there for people who like it. I worry that people see a rating and automatically skip the review.
Hopping in from the hop to say have a great Weekend!
Already a follower :)
