So, you know how I'm doing the 9909 challenge (9 books in 9 categories in 2009)?
I have something to add to one of them. #2 is "9 Re-Reads" I'd like to change that.
#2 shall now and for the year read, "2. 9 Re-Reads I Haven't Blogged"

Originally to write a story, but now a book review. Posting occur when I have time and remember to, hopefully more often than not.
Ratings
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.
