What am I? A masochist?ġ star - No book ever gets this rating. Nothing to recommend it though.Ģ star - I can't believe I finished this book. Would not recommend.ģ stars - Had some redeeming qualities or else I couldn't have finished it.
Probably will not recommend.Ĥ stars - Finished but did not like. Some aspects of the story, characters or writing troubled me. Recommended for entertainment value to readers with similar interest.ĥ stars - Slightly lower than average. An entertaining read but probably forgettable. Highly recommended.ħ stars - Better than average but with some flaws. I will actively push this book on my friends and family.Ĩ stars - A really great book in all respects with perhaps some minor flaws. Will keep forever and never loan it out, but might buy extra copies to give away to friends and family.ĩ stars - Not quite perfect but almost so. Can definitely see myself reading it again. Got something more out of it than just entertainment ~ it enlightened or educated me in some way, or it was utterly emotionally satisfying. I'm too old, so these days The Pearl Rule is ruthlessly applied! On the other hand, the books I do finish I tend to rate liberally.ġ0 stars - The book completely enthralled me. Here's my rating system for this year, stolen borrowed from Morphy, except you will never see a rating of 4 or lower, and usually not one of 5, because, if it's that unappealing, I won't finish it. November is NaNoWriMo (which I usually start, even if I don't always finish.
#Finale 2014.5 drumline sounds not playing series#
I like themed reads to an extent: Fantasy February, Mystery March, May Murder & Mayhem, September Series & Sequels, Halloween Horror October. I also like Georgette Heyer-type romances and some scifi, especially that dealing with social issues. So here are a few images of how it went that first day, pretty much within a few hours' time:įreezing little bunny, looks like it's also thinking "WTF?"Ībout me: I'm a pretty omnivoracious reader, with an especial taste for the fantasy and mystery genres, seasoned by a bit romance and/or horror. So, though some (including myself) have questioned my sanity over the years, that is exactly what I've done, leaving home only once for a grocery run to pick up some essentials and then scurrying back to the warmth and safety of my basement lair. Nothing for a sane person to do but stay inside, wrapped in a cozy comforter, with a thermos of hot coffee (or chocolate or tea) and a book. Seriously, Colorado? Isn't it a little early for this? I mean, it isn't even officially Winter yet! (Note: That's a 50 degree drop in about 5 hours!!!) And it hasn't gotten above freezing since then until today, when it got to 37F (currently at around 2 p.m.).
on Monday, November 10, when it went from a sunny 67F to a windy 40F in about a half hour, started snowing at around 11 a.m., and eventually plunged to a teeth-chatteringly frigid 18F by around 3 in the afternoon. Well, it was a gorgeous autumn here on the Front Range of Colorado, up to about 9:45 a.m.
