My Star Rating Guide

A new guide for the new year!

I’ve learned a lot in my first year on Bookstagram, so I knew this needed a little refresh.

As always, ratings are very subjective! Therefore, here is the guide by which I rate books. My rating of a book is always explained fully in my full reviews (check out my book review blog in my bio), and I do not have a spice guide, but if spice is a winning or losing factor, that is always mentioned as well.

I’ve already mentioned that I will not tag authors in books that I rate three stars or below unless previously discussed with them (for an ARC, for instance). It’s not fair for the author to see if and why you disliked their book.

October Wrap Up

I’ve been struggling today and yesterday, so that is why this post is late. I also haven’t read a great deal this month with life being, well, life. I managed to read Stolen by Kelley Armstrong, which I loved, so go check out my review, as it was a five-star read. I have the next book already purchased for when I have the energy to get back into the series. I’ve been mostly writing this month, which I’m making great headway with, so that’s been very exciting! I also took a few days off of it to relax and celebrate my birthday and my favourite day of the year, Halloween, so I think that has zapped my energy.

When I haven’t been writing, I’ve been comfort-reading a favourite series of mine. I will most likely review that series next year when I reread it, as I’m almost finished. The next book comes out in February, and I am ridiculously excited about it. I never need to read the blurb for any of the books or novellas in the Breeds series by Lora Leigh; I just dive in and enjoy the ride.

Is there an upcoming book release that you are excited about?

REVIEW: Stolen by Kelley Armstrong

Rating: 5 out of 5.

TV Adaptation: Bitten (2014)

Stolen is the second book in the paranormal romance series, The Women of the Otherworld, by Kelley Armstrong. Elena Michaels is on the road to accepting her new life and is back in the pack, picking up the role she left behind, and in doing so, she uncovers more than she thought was possible. There are more supernatural beings in the world, and unfortunately, she’s not the only one to realise this. The humans are coming, and as the only female werewolf in existence, she’s certainly a prize to be caught.
