Okay, so here's how the rating system works. Since every book should be an original, I'm rating with snowflakes. If no two snowflakes are alike, then no two books are either. 1 is the lowest rating, probably not worth your time. 5 is excellent, a must-read. 3 is average. Have at it!
Definitions
CF: Christian Fiction
Fiction: A story that is not true.
Funny: Humerous. Usually laugh-out-loud funny.
Good: Pleasurable. Not amazing, but better than okay.
Literature: Books that are (generally) accepted in most circles as a book that can (and will) continue to stand the test of time.
Mystery: A book with a puzzle to solve
Nonfiction: A book that is true. An autobiography, cookbook, etc...
Quick: A book that reads quickly. There is (usually) not much meat to it, nor a deeper, underlying meaning.
Reference: A book that is generally only used to find out specific bits of information. I.E. Bartlby's Quatations, or the encyclopedia.
Romance: A book where the romantic angle is integral to the story
RomCom: Romantic Comedy (usually in movies, but can apply to books too)
Sci-Fi: Science Fiction. A story that is outside the realm of possibility, usually because of facts generally accepted by the science community.
Summer Read: The kind of book that is likely to be seen at the beach. You know, the mass-market paperback kind.
YA: Young adult. The story line and/or characters in a book are later teenagers, or appeal to later teenagers, usually both.
