★★★★★ - Exceptional Read

5 Stars for us now mean that it was an exceptional book. It means that we couldn't get that book out of our heads and that we couldn't put it down. IE. if I went pee the book went with me becuase I just couldn't stop reading it. 

★★★★☆ -Enjoyable Read

4 Stars for us now means that the book was amazing and enjoyable but one or two things just didnt work out. And well let you know it in the review. 

★★★☆☆ -Acceptable Read

3 stars for us now doesn't just mean that the book was meh. There were some really large issues with it. Not enough that it would ruin the book/story/plot but enough to make it that it would really need fixed for us to contiune the series if it one. And we most likely would not read the book again if given the chance. 

★★☆☆☆ - Unpleasant Read

2 stars for us are very unpleasant books. These are ones with very large issues that ruin the story/plot etc. It could be plot holes, characters not done well, or something else that just wasn't right. With this one well let you know our thoughts in the review. 

★☆☆☆☆ - Failed Read

 1 star is still our go to for anything we DNF. These ratings mean that the book was just horrible and we could not finish it at all.  Well let you know why in the review.
