Bookmarked Fiction Blog: Rating Policy

All my reviews are completely and 100% my opinion. While I may read other critiques of the same book, I always give my honest opinion about a book. And as my friends can tell you, I have this tendency to be overly frank. I'm not going to lie to you if I hated the book.

I take suggestions for reading books, as long as they're fiction. I can read YA to adult fiction. Thus, please be careful when reading my blog if you are sensitive to maturer themes such as sex, violence, etc. If these are recurring aspects of a book I've read, I'll probably go over them in the review. Also, I do tend to curse. I try to keep my posts relatively clean, but I'm human so I can slip up now and again.

Reviews will appear first on my Goodreads account. I will usually put up the same review on this site; however, for smaller reviews or book ratings with no reviews, I will not usually put up anything for it on this site. So, if you do want to see my other book ratings, please follow my Goodreads profile. I also post an announcement for my blog posts on Twitter so please feel free to follow either or both of these sources for my reviews.

If you want to contact me, please do so at munch.tutorials@gmail.com or via my Goodreads/Twitter accounts.

Rating Guide

Five Stars: I loved this book. I have nothing to complain about here. Five stars are almost as rare as one star ratings in my book, so when I give them out, I highly recommend you check the book out. Five star books are included in my favorites.
Four Stars: This was a really good book. I still recommend it, although there was probably something about the story that didn't quite resonate with me. However, I still recommend that you read the book.
Three Stars: This book was alright/good. I thought there were issues with the story that could've been improved. I probably won't reread the book, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it out.
Two Stars: I didn't like this book. It was pretty bad. Two star books are hard to get through. I don't recommend them. Since I rarely ever give out 1 star ratings, two stars is usually my lowest rating.
One Star: I HATED THIS BOOK. DO NOT READ. One star books usually entail some sort of literary disaster. Books rated this low should be burned or hidden away from society, only to be read by criminals. Seriously, don't read them.

Meme Schedule

Quote Something Sundays -- I flip to a random page in a book off my bookshelves and pull a random quote from that line. I will give you a summary of that book without giving away the title or author. If you can guess the identity of the book and the quote's speaker, then kudos. I reveal the answer the next week.
Fan Trailer Tuesdays -- Fans have this amazing gift of bringing their favorite books to the big screen. Now with all of these new YA books being released as movies (The Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments), I thought it'd be a great opportunity to shine some light on the wicked cool trailers made by book nuts.
*New* Heroine of the Month -- This will be a new monthly meme featuring a heroine that kicks ass and takes names. The HoM will be announced every last day of the month. It will start on January 31st. Check out the completed meme archive underneath the review list archive.
