I find them to be arbitrary. And you're right, my thoughts on what I've read do evolve. I also would never want to discourage a person from reading a book because I did not like it or it did not resonate with me.Trinahttp://trinaogorman.typepad.com/oldflame/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-61142746125181968682010-08-27T23:25:23.969-07:002010-08-27T23:25:23.969-07:00LOL I completely understand the whole swinging bet...LOL I completely understand the whole swinging between two ratings---I don't have a rating system on my blog, but the rating system does hold merit. I however just like to explain or speak my thoughts and feelings about the book and what I exactly liked about it and what I didn't than switching ratings constantly, every time I thought about it LOL. am now a follower! happy reading :)<br /><br /><a href="http://thebookbluff.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">TheBookBluff</a>KIKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088604783857256942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-58062604060149152462010-08-27T21:30:54.443-07:002010-08-27T21:30:54.443-07:00Hey Anne!

I use the 5 stars rating system. <br /><br />Also, my book journal helps me keep track of the books I read, and if a friend wants to borrow the book and asks if I liked it, I can refer back to my book journal review.

I think...Hi there, just stopping by on the hop :)<br /><br />I think book ratings are helpful in a way that they serve as a bottomline for a review, but at the end of the day I think it's the written review that matters :)<br /><br />Erika<br /><a href="http://erikabreathesbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Erika Breathes Books</a>Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420339231681004915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-12775876031813087942010-08-26T23:22:06.088-07:002010-08-26T23:22:06.088-07:00Followed from the hop!

I like reading in depth reviews for books I've already read but for the ones I haven't, I tend to like to check the rating to see if it's worth reading. I don't like going into a book with someone else's opinions in my head.<br /><br />I'm your newest follower. Happy reading!<br /><a href="http://amberinblunderland.blogspot.com/2010/08/book-blogger-hop-4-august-27-30-2010.html" rel="nofollow">My Hop</a>Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803751424984029342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-91831317616208511162010-08-26T21:44:24.632-07:002010-08-26T21:44:24.632-07:00Thanks for stopping by my blog! :]

I don't care for ratings by themselves. They're meaningless. After all, what one person dislikes about a book, might be exactly what I like - so I want to know why that person gave it a thumbs up or down.Jenniferhttp://literarysoundtrack.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-86713350960707296852010-08-26T21:37:03.409-07:002010-08-26T21:37:03.409-07:00Happy Friday.
