All books at The Lovely Grace are given an out of 5 star review! Here is a little breakdown of the process:
5 out of 5 stars- DEFINITELY a lovely and graceful read! Plot was the right pace, characters were developed properly, story line made sense etc. This book probably met all my expectations-and then some. It probably made me fangirl for days and gave me a big book hangover that I would probably be talking about it on Twitter, Tumblr, Goodreads, my blog and to my friends for a while. A 5 out of 5 star rating is very rare.
4.5 out of 5 stars- This book was lovely! It had everything I loved and met my expectations. A 4.5 out of 5 stars are given to books that I love, and can keep me hooked.
4 out of 5 stars- This rating usually means that it was a lovely read, and I will most likely continue reading the series/books from this author.
3.5 out of 5 stars- This means the book isn't a 4 or higher rating, but it's unique! There were things I loved in the book, but other things that threw me off/I didn't 100% enjoy. Anything that gets a 3.5 out of 5 star rating usually leads me to getting other books from this author.
3 out of 5 stars- This means the book is average for me. It's in the middle, and means it was good. A 3 out of 5 star rating still gets recommended by me, and I would still continue on if it was a series. If it is a standalone, I will still get books from the author.
2.5 out of 5 stars- This means the book was good. It wasn't average, yet it wasn't something that I would just completely stop reading. A book rated 2.5 out of 5 stars means that I just couldn't connect with the book/get into the book the way I wanted to, but it was still a good read.
2 out of 5 stars- This means the book was okay. It wasn't a bad book, but it just sort of fell flat on me.
1.5 out of 5 stars- This means the book was alright. It probably took me awhile to read.
1 out of 5 stars- I just didn't enjoy it.
Note: I rarely do DNF (do not finish), and I try my best to read all the books given to me/the books I get. I do my best to give them a good review and rating. :D
