I seriously got back into reading this summer for the first time in... a couple years? So I'm hoping keeping this blog up will help motivate me to continue.
You may be wondering-- why these are rated so harshly? The truth is that it kind of pisses me off that the only numbers that get regular use in a rating system are the ones at the very top and bottom. So I want to use my scale to its fullest! Me giving something a 5 or 4 doesn't indicate that I hated it, merely that I didn't find it particularly exciting.
