Ratings Defined
0 = Abandon the book after first chapter
1 = Waste of paper, we will see what the environmentalist say about this!
2 = Skip it, read the book if you have got nothing better to do
2.5 = An average book, easily forgettable.
3 = A good read.
3.5 = A good entertaining read, a page-turner
4 = So glad that I read the book, a book with substance and invaluable for future reference
4.5 = So glad that I read the book, would pester everyone to read it, invaluable, I would want to own it and wouldn't mind a second read (something that I seldom do)
5 = The book is so good that I feel like I am on scale 4 and 4.5, and more, it blew me away and lingers on my head for weeks!
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I really don’t know what to say! I like both! It’s fun having the JoV though I think.

Thanks for responding!
Posted by JoV | February 4, 2012, 7:51 pmI think the JoV makes it a bit more personal….but maybe that’s not what you’re aiming for?
Posted by bernadetteinoz | February 4, 2012, 5:13 amBernadette,
But I’m willing to listen to my readers!
Posted by JoV | February 4, 2012, 7:52 pmI like the sound of JoV’s Book Pyramid. I’ve been so used to seeing it pop up on my feed, always makes my day reading your latest book tidbit or review
Posted by Joanna | February 4, 2012, 6:16 amAww thanks Joanna,
Appreciate it. I’ll keep it as it is.
Posted by JoV | February 4, 2012, 7:53 pmI hadn’t actually noticed that your blog was called Book Pyramid. I definitely recognise your blog (posts) by the JoV bit. I guess JoV is your “brand name” now…
Posted by Leeswammes | February 4, 2012, 8:16 amJudith,
That’s great. Forget about Book Pyramid! LOL
Posted by JoV | February 4, 2012, 7:56 pmI always think of you as JoV
Posted by Maxine | February 4, 2012, 1:25 pmPS I did notice you have changed your blog name but in RSS your posts are always “by” Bibliojunkie. Not sure if that is intentional or not, just letting you know.

Thanks for thinking of me as JoV and Thanks for the feedback. Google feeder always retain the original author name I think, unless I change my URL. I also find that if the blog name is not filled up properly on the wordpress setup, and assume the header image to publicise it, google feeder will tag the feed coming from “Unknown”. It is rather mysterious how these feeder works..
Posted by JoV | February 4, 2012, 8:00 pmThat’s a toughie…I would say just Book Pyramid is more catchy, however JoV’s Book Pyramid is more unique sounding…if that helps at all lol.

Thanks for the feedback! I know it’s tough. I want it to be catchy too.
Posted by JoV | February 5, 2012, 3:00 pmDepends what you are going for… if you are trying to brand yourself, then just Book Pyramid, but if you don’t care much about branding, then I think adding the JoV makes it much more personal.

Hmmm… It means I can’t have both? Branding and being personal?
