Happy New Year! Goodbye Bookies – Hello Star Review Ratings!

Filed in Announcements , BLI Stars Posted on January 1, 2012 @ 8:00 am 9 comments

Happy New Year Everyone!

After careful consideration and discussion (not really – LOL) we have decided to discontinue using “Bookies” as our tool for rating reviews and adopt the more traditional “Stars”. Except our Stars are red because, well, we like red! 🙂

As you can see from the legend in the BLI Sidebar, our rating system hasn’t changed:

5 Stars: Perfect! I Love It!

4 Stars: Awesome Book!


3 Stars: I Liked It!

2 Stars: Not bad, but maybe not for me.

1 Star: Didn’t like it! Did Not Finish it.

We will use the 1/2 star rating to further define our opinion/enjoyment of the book. 🙂

New Year, New Platform, New Look and New Stars! Yay!

To all Our Readers:

We appreciate your support of BLI more than you can know!
Wishing Everyone a Happy, Healthy, Wonderful 2012!

    Ooo I did like those bookies for their originality, but since I am using stars myself, I can’t blame you 🙂

    Now why go for starts? Stars are so….banal. If you want to ditch the bookies, each book lover should have their own rating system! The Geeky Lover could rate 1-5 Geeks, and the Winger Lover could rate in Winged Creatures, and the Cornered Lover could rate in….

    Hmm. Okay. Maybe the idea falls apart with the execution. But there is something there.
