Episode 013: How We Rate Books

from Chapter Chats Hosted by Hannah & Bree

Ever stare at a book and think "How many stars do I give this?!" Same! In this episode, we're breaking down how we rate books and sharing our personal rating systems. We're also talking about our thoughts on DNFing, and how we think about additional components of reviews (spice ratings and trigger warnings, for instance). ** This episode was originally going to be posted a few weeks ago, so some timing references are not going to align like we thought they would! Recent Reads: Light Bringer // Pierce Brown Wuthering Heights // Emily Bronte Our April book club pick is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
