I'm sorry the last few weeks of the year sucked. I got sick too with the flu and I've been fighting it since Christmas. :/ So, I know how you feel. I'm glad you got a chance to go to Oregon. Your pictures were cool and made me jealous. :)Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-30307430757905245362017-01-11T06:24:20.719-07:002017-01-11T06:24:20.719-07:00Ha ha.

I ended up reading a lot of 3-star books last year, too. I had a few 4- and 5-star reads, but I'm hoping to increase their number this year. So here's to both of us finding better books to read in 2017! :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-78531559109792704152017-01-10T17:37:31.897-07:002017-01-10T17:37:31.897-07:00Most of my reads are 4 stars... either I'm too...Most of my reads are 4 stars... either I'm too generous with my ratings (which I probably am) or I've gotten better at putting down books that aren't great. I no longer look at 3 stars as bad, so I did hand those out more, but I only had a few 2 or lower stars. Hopefully 2017 brings you better books, better health, and more of the good things 2016 handed out and a hell of a lot less of the bad.

I actually admire how you're able to rate books with so few stars! I think I'm much too generous (my average rating this year is 4.11 stars) and I'm trying to be my realistic and less optimistic.<br /><br />Laura @BlueEyeBooksLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-3688684278159299482017-01-10T11:03:15.188-07:002017-01-10T11:03:15.188-07:00I'm jealous of your Oregon trip.
