I seem to be having quite a few DNF (did not finish) experiences lately. In the past, I've reviewed such books as I have all the others, grading them based on what I actually managed to read. I'm now thinking that that's not really fair... and yet I still want to share my thoughts about these books.
So, from now on, DNFs will not receive numerical ladybug ratings. However, I will be explaining why the book was a DNF for me and each title will still appear on the review pages.
Great idea! I stopped rating my reviews completely because I felt like each book had different reasons being rate a 3, 4, 5 etc and it was hard to compare books that were not alike. And very hard to rate a DNF - especially if I had a DNF due to me just not being in the right mood that type of book (I've had a lot where I just couldn't get into them because I wasn't in a good frame of mind).

I think that's reasonable. I do the same thing - no numbered ranking on DNF books. I still share my thoughts, and why I couldn't finish. I saw some of yours and love how you do the bullet points for the list of why you didn't finish. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI like your new format. Especially your point form summary of why you didn't finish.
ReplyDeleteI stopped rating DNF and just labelled as such too. Makes more sense to me.
