Review Policy & Rating System

If you are a publisher/author and are interested in contacting me about a book, you can do so at adayinbookland.noelia@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Bear in mind I only review adult books (excluding erotica) and sometimes middle-grade books. I do not review self-published books.

Here is my rating system. In the blog I will not use the star system but the numerical one. I feel it's more personal than the star rating which I find pretty limiting.
- DNF: It will get no rating
- 1 star (1-2 out of 10): I finished the book but I disliked it. A lot.
- 2 stars (3-4 out of 10): a book whose faults outshined the good bits or a book that didn't work for me as a reader.
- 2.5 stars (5-5.5 out of 10): An okay read. Probably a story I liked as a whole but had its issues. Will recommend depending on the reader.
- 3 stars (6-6.5 out of 10): I enjoyed the book. It might not be perfect but it's worth the read. I recommend it.
- 3.5 stars (7 out of 10): I liked/enjoyed the book. Worth the read. Maybe not as good as a 4 stars due to some issues but one I recommend for sure.
- 4 stars (7.5-8.5 out of 10): I adored the book. I definitely recommend it.
- 4.5 stars (9 out of 10): Almost flawless.
- 5 stars (9.5-10 out of 10): A favourite. Flawless. A book I completely fell in love with.

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

How I Rate Books

For quite a while now I’ve seen loads of people talking about how they rate the books they read. And so I thought about doing my own post because it is true the way I rate books has changed and so I wanted to discuss it with you guys. The main thing that inspired me to do this post is Helene’s Jeppesen video about it.
