I have a confession to make: I HATE the 5-star rating system readers use to talk about books.
Really. I hate it.
That’s why I’ve created a different rating scale to deepen my responses to books: I rate in hearts, not stars.
Today, I’m sharing all about my new rating system (and book journal!) and offer three books that have touched my reading heart so much, I gave them a 5 heart rating and recommend them to everyone.
Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon or Bookshop affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!
