My NEW Rating System!!!! :)

Happy Sunday!
I've got something SUPER exciting to share with you'll!!! :)

Eileen over at Singing and Reading in the Rain!!, who made my ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS Header and Blog Button (which btw, you should totally share ;) haha), has now made me a Rating System!!!


Isn't it gorgeous??!!! :)

Now here are the details (I will also be making a tab at the top of The Romance Bookie):

This system is called The Bookie System!

It's very similar to anyone else's Star rating system, it's from 1-5 Bookies! :)



= I ABSOLUTELY 100% loved EVERY SINGLE thing about this book!!! Would recommend this one EVERYONE!




= This was a GREAT book! Truly enjoyed it! And would recommend it to others!



= This book was good, there were bits and pieces that weren't really my thing, but overall an enjoyable read.  Wouldn't reread it though, most likely. 



=There were quite a few things I didn't like about this one.  Would never reread it, and probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone, unless it sounded like something to there liking (because after all, something I may have not liked, someone else may love!)




= I hate to say it, but if I give a book a ONE Bookie rating, I absolutely could not stand this book! I would never recommend it to anyone! Whether it be that I absolutely disliked the main character, the writing, the story, or EVERYTHING, sometimes it just takes that one thing to make an awful book for me!  But I promise I RARELY give one Bookie/Star ratings.  I have currently a total of 3 1-Star books on Goodreads, out of the 406 I have read!


So that's the Bookie system! :)

I will be adding a rating to all of my future AND past ratings, so I'll be adding that in the next couple of weeks! :)

Thanks Everyone! :)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
