It’s time for another Sunday Post!
The sun is shining, it’s warming up to be a beautiful day, and “I’m Alright.” That song is stuck in my head!
Do you remember the gopher in Caddy Shack? The battle between that furry pesky rodent and Bill Murray cracked me up. I have to share a few favorite scenes!

I have watched this movie so many times and I still laugh so hard I almost pee my pants. LOL
I’ve got some awesome books to share with you today. But first lets talk about review ratings.
The other day I was talking with my sister and she asked me a question I’ve been pondering myself. It’s about the Amazon review rating system. You know they changed how the ratings work, what the stars mean. Their rating description doesn’t reflect mine on my blog and my sister asked, do I give a book 5 stars on Amazon when I gave it 4 stars on my blog.
I mostly review books on my blog that I really like. So my ratings are between 3 and 5 stars. A really good book gets a 4 star rating from me but Amazon’s description for a 4 star rating doesn’t coincide with mine. It’s like I need to give it 5 stars to show how I felt about it. So far I use the same star rating as on my blog but each time it bothers me.
The question I have today is, do you change your ratings when posting on Amazon?
I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link!
