I am many things, but first and foremost, I am a reader. I require one absolute from the books that I read – there MUST be a happy ending.

My five star rating system:  
5 stars – This means I got totally lost in the book, to the point where I forgot I was reading. I cared about the characters.
4 stars – A great book, one I’d be happy to re-read. For whatever reason, I didn’t get ‘lost’ in the book, but I really enjoyed it.
3 stars – A good book, but nothing special. Nothing wrong with it, it was just nice.
2 stars – Something prevented me from enjoying this one. It could have been poor editing, a crappy plot, whatever. I didn’t like it.
1 star – Seriously, how did this book get published? This is ridiculous.
