I've pretty much given up on my blog---except for recording my cookbook countdown. I vacillate between starting blogging/journaling again (for my own satisfaction only) or not.
So, here I am.
I thought I'd just start slowly and post my August books.
It was a really good reading month for me.
Better than any month ever--18 books.
I had 2 five stars reads.
2 3 star reads.
and all the rest were 4 star reads.
I feel that the star rating system is so arbitrary.
Because my 3 stars are still books I'd recommend. 3 stars means I liked the book.
I am very selfish with my 5 star ratings. I don't give them often.
But that means that I would recommend all of these books to most of my friends.
Although, I know my audience, so the romances not to everyone.
My big surprise? Running with Sherman. I loved it.
And that's my slow re-entry into the blogging world.

I very rarely give a 5 star rating but was just wondering if I should loosen up a bit on it. You're right though - it's so arbitrary as it's so personal to each reader and even their mood. I just reread an Agatha Christie that I had given 3 stars on Goodreads but when I reread it I absolutely loved it. Weird! You have so many good books! I have Rules of Civility on my shelf. I really enjoyed Gentleman in Moscow and need to read that one.
