This Girl's Books

My online repository of what I've read, what I thought of it, and whether or not I'd recommend it to you, dear reader.

So how is this going to work?, you ask

Excellent question, you. Answer: I don't know for sure. Here's what I'm thinking right now. As I finish a book, I'm going to dedicate a post to that particular book and do some kind of review on it. That way, if you ever want to look up a book I've read and reviewed (or if I have another memory black-out!!!), all you (or I) have to do is search by title. And I'm still thinking through a rating system, like how movies get rated on a 5-star scale. But to do that, I'll have to come up with some kind of judging criteria. Anybody have any ideas? How do you judge books?

I'm also thinking of using this sub-blog of mine to post quotable quotes, author bios/interviews, that kind of thing. Any other ideas for non-book-specific posts?

    I found your blog by accident (or did I?) Anyway, I love to read and am looking forward to seeing what you are reading. I think one way to rate a book is "does it make me think differently than I did before?" Another thought might be "would I recommend this to others?" Just a few thoughts.

    Hi Joy!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and offering your suggestions. I am compiling a list and your two criteria are now on it!

    I clicked your name and couldn't find a blog for you...is it under construction?

    Come back soon, y'hear? :)

    I don't have a blog yet. I can't decide what it would be about. My husband says to just start one and start writing (we both love to write). I somehow feel the need to have a theme... I guess not making a decision is making a decision.
