If you haven't gathered already, ABOADC is a book review site. It is my belief, that to make it easy the books need some sort of grading system so at a glance readers will know exactly how I feel about the book.
Here's how I grade the books:
I grade on an A-F scale. I rarely give A's or F's, but I will grade books that high or low if the occasion calls for it. I like the A-F grading scale because I think most people are familiar with what is average (C) work and what is excellent work (B+/A) and what is absolutely below par (D+ and under).
So, here's a break down of my extremely subjective grading:
A: I would choose this book to take on a deserted island if I could only choose one book.
B: Good - I recommend these books to people - usually there is something a bit off about the book, so it isn't an A.
C: Average
D: Skip it.
F: I would only use this book as kindling if I had literally nothing left. I get rid of these books ASAP.
Here's the thing about subjectivity - it is just that - my opinion. So, if you don't agree with a review I write - then offer to write a guest post ( I welcome them) or leave your opinions in the comments.
I review some ARCs and books that I have won in giveaways. I am always open to reviewing new material and I really like winning things - so, if you have a book you would like me to review - then please let me know. You can contact me at abookofadifferentcolor@gmail.com with reviews, comments, suggestions, or books to review.
I will under no circumstances give a book a better or worse review simply because I was given the book by a publisher or book agent. These reviews and thoughts are my own opinions about the books.
Happy Reading!!
