I have a confession to make: I HATE the 5-star rating system readers use to talk about books. 

Really. I hate it. 

That’s why I’ve created a different rating scale to deepen my responses to books: I rate in hearts, not stars. 

Today, I’m sharing all about my new rating system (and book journal!) and offer three books that have touched my reading heart so much, I gave them a 5 heart rating and recommend them to everyone. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon or Bookshop affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!

Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar (Amazon / Bookshop)

The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George (Amazon / Bookshop)

The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams (Amazon / Bookshop)

Now, it’s your turn. What books have you read that earned a 5-heart rating?
