I don't usually even finish a book if I don't like it a lot...so 3 would be the minimum for me. I give a lot of 4's. And the life-changing ones or the ones I don't want to end? They get 5s.charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-31753550623245082162009-06-04T00:35:37.622-04:002009-06-04T00:35:37.622-04:00Thank you so much, Brecken!

I have just spent a very happy couple of hours exploring the book site and I love it!<br />I'm with you - most of my ratings are three: 'I liked it'. <br />:)!Sandy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09463236853839331077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-84821851336034543622009-06-03T23:40:06.244-04:002009-06-03T23:40:06.244-04:00My ratings are probably a bit inflated, but I tend...My ratings are probably a bit inflated, but I tend to like most anything in print. I have tried to give descriptions more often give a little more info as to why I rated something the way I did.<br /><br />What I like about your ratings, is that even if they are tough, you have a key to what the different ratings mean.sallysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993186124270052147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-73419305289127690552009-06-03T23:16:15.705-04:002009-06-03T23:16:15.705-04:00Sometimes I have a hard time rating a book because...Sometimes I have a hard time rating a book because I think I missed important parts of it...that I would gain in a book club. Also, my star ratings would change in time...might LOVE a book when I finish reading it and two days later wonder why I did. Either way, I see some people's star ratings are inflated and some are not. It's what make your better than three stars so much more.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898258094890823405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-16872085472781476682009-06-03T23:09:08.747-04:002009-06-03T23:09:08.747-04:00people totally misinterpret 3 stars. 3 stars means...people totally misinterpret 3 stars. 3 stars means I liked it!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915621416225428117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-61959764449550207972009-06-03T18:06:55.735-04:002009-06-03T18:06:55.735-04:00I think I'm a harsh star-giver too, but when I...I think I'm a harsh star-giver too, but when I go back and look at my list, I can see that it also depends on my mood at the time. I very rarely give 5 stars, but there are a lot I gave four stars to that would probably have gotten fewer in retrospect, and some that got 3 stars that probably should have been higher. If I start analyzing it too much, I'd probably spend all day adjusting my ratings. Anyway, I like goodreads because it's a place for me to keep a permanent list of what I've read and my massive list of books I hear about that I want to read. I used to have a hard copy on my computer, but the website is better.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070468585091038634noreply@blogger.com
