My First Post! - Book Review Criteria

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I will be posting my weekly book reviews every Sunday, and also announcing the book for the following week. I will also be posting my favorite quote from each book weekly! This is the beginning of my journey into writing, and I know I am not a perfect writer, so please be kind and stay patient with me. I am still figuring out the best way to speak my mind through writing, and learning the best way to review books.

My plan is to read (at least) one book a week, for the whole year of 2022, which totals up to 52 books! Twenty-six of the books will be classics (which I have already picked!) and the other twenty-six books will be varying genres. Some of the classics I picked are going to be re-reads for me, but I would like to dive deeper into each of them and give a wonderful review.

If there are any books that you recommend me to read, please leave me a suggestion on the recommendations page!

The 26 classics I plan to read this year are:

• Little Women

• The Great Gatsby

• Emma

• Jane Eyre

• Sense and Sensibility

• Persuasion

• Northanger Abbey

• Mansfield Park

• Pride and Prejudice

• Wuthering Heights

• Of Mice and Men

• Catcher and the Rye

• The Time Machine

• To Kill a Mockingbird

• Tale of Two Cities

• Great Expectations

• The Scarlett Letter

• Fahrenheit 451

• To the Lighthouse

• Dracula

• Frankenstein

• Middlemarch

• 1984

• The Outsiders

• Slaughterhouse 5

• A Christmas Carol

Now, what is the best way to review a book? I have chosen a popular book review method, the 5 star rating! I will be rating each book on the following criteria and then assigning 1 to 5 stars:

• Initial response

• Characters

• Plot/structure

• Writing style

• likelihood to recommend the book to others

Please stay tuned for the first review Sunday January 9th. The first book I will be reading is Little Women By Louisa May Alcott
