      • 1 Star/Did Not Finish1 Star reads and books I didnโ€™t finish. I use this for books I couldnโ€™t finish. If I finished a book, it meant it was passable at least so deserves an extra star! It is very rare that I need to do this, Iโ€™m good at knowing my own taste. Usually ifย  a book got this rating Iโ€™d made a miscalculation when I picked it up! I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 2 Stars2 out of 5 starย  book reviews. I finished the book but it felt like a struggle, and I probably ended up skim reading a lot of it just to get though the thing. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 3 Stars3 out of 5 star book reviews. These are middle-of-the-road books. Nothing that got me excited, but they were fine and I probably had a good time reading most of it. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 4 Stars4 out of 5 star book reviews. I had a good time reading it, I felt like I got something out of the experience and Iโ€™d recommend it to other people. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 5 Stars5 out of 5 star book reviews. I got super excited about it! Iโ€™ll buy a hard copy for my library, and Iโ€™ll likely read it again. Sometimes for these books, Iโ€™ll write up a longer review with analysis. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
