My Rating System
I have made a change to my rating system. I felt too limited with
the diamonds. I am going to use the following rating system below.
I believe it gives a little more room for judgement:

How do I judge?:
Did I like the heroine?
What about the hero? Was he someone I liked reading about?
Could I imagine spending time with him?
Was the story about a woman falling in love with a man, or a man a
woman could fall in love with? Note: (I heard this in a movie with
Shelly Long. I can't remember it's name, but it involved romance
writer and was very humorous. I think about it sometimes while reading.)
Did the story keep me turning pages?
Was the plot romantic?
Was there plenty of character interaction -- or a lot of description
and narrative?
