Let's Talk: Question Reminder

Mar 14, 2013 by Kt Clapsadl

Let’s Talk is a weekly meme that delves into the minds of bloggers and readers alike. *snort* Actually, we just talk about lots of entertaining and corny stuff half the time, but the meme is definitely meant to bring out conversation and meet new people. We talk about book-related things, as well as personal questions, always remaining respectful and never asking for too much detail. Each Friday, a different question will be posted along with a place to link up your posts and visit other people’s responses.

It’s FUN. It’s EXCITING! It’s COOL!

Well, it will be if you

JOIN US TONIGHT! icon wink Reminder: Question for Lets Talk

This week's question:

Do you rate a book differently based on the genre? Are there certain genres that you hold at a higher standard? Are there books that will gain an automatic "pass" or overlook of issues just because you love the genre/ type of world? If you don’t rate books, you can answer the questions based on your review criteria.

You can view all the Let’s Talk topics here, and if you have any fun topics to discuss, we’d love to hear them! You can submit your thoughts here.

No. I try to be very objective about book ratings/reviews. I take plot, pacing, characterization, and setting into consideration. Then I consider writing craft and presentation. I come up with a number for story and craft then average those two together. However, I love romance (romance not sex--angsty tension not graphic description--so if a book is not a romance but manages to hold my attention it will get a higher rating on story. But if a book is romance and relies primarily on sex or physical sexual tension to build the relationship it's not going to do well for story. Especially since a romance writers job is to develop the relationship.
