Book Rat Badges

Just wanted to show you all something that may be popping up on Book Rat from now on; just a silly little something I did one day when I was bored, and should have been doing any number of more productive things.  There will (probably) be more to come.
Introducing:
Book Rat Badges!





As you can see, so far there are three: Nail-biters, Magic, and Romance.  When you see one of these badges posted on a review, it means the book fell into one of those categories.
The Claw-biting Rat Badge is for nail-biting books that keep you on the edge of your seat.  They can be anything from crime and suspense novels, mysteries, or just plain good storytelling -- the type of books you can't put down because you just have to know what's going to happen next.
Reviews with the Wizard's Rat Badge are magical in some way -- they may deal directly with magic (like Harry Potter) or indirectly, as in some magical realism and sci-fi/fantasy books.  Or maybe they are books that just cast a spell on the reader.
The Love Rat Badge is for books with a good love affair -- ranging from hot and steamy paranormal romances to tween-squeeing, heart-squeezing, swoon-worthy fare.

If you see one of these Rat Badges pop up, you can safely bet that book is going to have a great element of deliciousness in one of those categories.  And as I said, there will probably be more to come, which I will add to the list.
If you review a book you think is worth a badge, feel free to use it, I don't mind; rats are very sociable.

  6. April -- I do intend to make stickers and bookmarks, so maybe I will use self-made designs instead of CG... (And I will send you some, cause YOU rock!)

    WMR -- T-shirts, eh? I do work at a crafts store, and I am crafty...I have access to iron-on transfers...Hmmm, I will contemplate this. If I make any, I'll let you know.

    Thanks, everyone! I totally didn't mean this as any self-gratulation, it was just a boredom thing, but I love me some compliments, so I'll take 'em!
