You tend to read books so vastly different from what usually makes it onto my radar that the reviews alone are interesting enough.A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-55436144342963292022012-05-01T10:39:40.905-05:002012-05-01T10:39:40.905-05:00I've been thinking about doing the same thing ...I've been thinking about doing the same thing because I think that too many people just focus on the grade rather than the review. I suspect that more people read the ones I grade as poor than anything else, and that seems counterproductive to me. All the big book sites require a number grade in order to post there, but I think I'll just drop the grades on my own blog. That's all I can control. Thanks for the nudge to finally make that change.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.com
