Blogger Hop and Follow Friday :)

Book Blogger Hop

(Crazy for Books hosts Book Blogger Hop, while Parajunkee's View hosts Follow Friday)


Welcome to The Smarty Owl!
If you've never visited us before, be sure to look around and check out our reviews!
If you're an old follower, welcome back!
This week's Book Blogger Hop question is...



Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

Yes, The Smarty Owl does indeed use ratings! In the spirit of the owl theme, we rate our books using a scale of one to five "hoots": the better the book, the higher the hoots. We use ratings for a plethora of reasons. They are convient to those who just want the rating without reading the entire review, and also help us compare the book to others, keeping the quality of our reads in perspective. Also, if I ask my coblogger, Rica, how good a book like The Dark Divine is, she can just quicky say "3.5 hoots", and I'll automatically have an idea of its amazingness, opposed to her telling me a lengthy blateration.
