This & That
2:46 PM
Here are a couple of tidbits I wanted to mention...
I have decided to start grading the books I review with a simple A-F system that will be familiar to anyone educated in an American public school. I don't think I really need to explain what the grades mean, but I will probably post an explanation on the sidebar anyway. This will occur when I have the time and energy (so around 2009). My latest review (below) contains this new feature, and I will try to go back and grade the books in my previous reviews. Again, this should be accomplished sometime in the next 2 years. Just kidding - I'll probably get to it in the next week or so. I will also include the grades in the tags at the bottom of this blog so you can skip all the flunkees and find the A plussers more easily.
Also, Camy Tang is having a huge book giveaway on her site. Who is Camy? Well, I was wondering that same thing yesterday when I read about this giveaway on Mommy of 3's blog. Then, I thought, "Who cares who she is - she's giving away a ton of free stuff." After surfing around her website, I found out that she is an Asian woman who writes Christian fiction. If you're interested in entering her giveaway, go to her website and read all about it. If you enter, please mention that Susan at Bloggin' 'Bout Books sent you. I love contests and free stuff!
Okay, that's all I've got. Now, back to my book...

Sounds like a good plan. I have trouble rating books because I'm so ambivalent and because I know my preferences often differ from those of others. I can waste a lot of time trying to decide the difference between a B and a C. Hard to believe I did this for years in a classroom, but maybe that is the reason for the reluctance. I enjoy reading the ratings of other people, though.
