We have been requesting half stars for a while - because sometimes it is inbetween.<BR/><BR/>I rarely give out 5 stars - those are only for the very special favorites that stand the test of re-reads. 4's are for really good, above average. 3's are what most of my reads receive - good - interesting. 2's are for ones that I was disappointed in. And 1's are for ones that - for lack of a better word - suck.<BR/><BR/>I tend to pay more attention to the overall average ratings before adding a book to my to-read pile. I'm trying to find more 4's and 5's - not 3's.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751560065520970068.post-44535998091332861542009-02-10T10:15:00.000-08:002009-02-10T10:15:00.000-08:00Oh, a bit late but only because I was giving it so...Oh, a bit late but only because I was giving it so much thought.

On my own blog, I sometimes use them but sometimes not because I think it doesn't always convey what I really think. For example, I might give a book 3 stars or a C rating, which means I find it "OK" but it might be because I don't really like that kind of book and someone else might love it. It is so open to interpretation -- some people love romance novels but I might not. But on sites like Amazon and Library Thing, I like using the stars because it is a collective group effort and I think it can all add up to something useful for others. I mean, if 100 other people gave it 5 stars, then it is probably worth checking out. So that is kind of my approach to it. <BR/><BR/>And I've been working on trying to come up with a rating system that I think it more accurate than stars or letter ratings but it is still a work in progress. I saw a great rating system on someone's blog that I kind of wanted to "borrow" but I can't think of where I saw it now. I'll have to look it up.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751560065520970068.post-803602979454456912009-02-10T06:53:00.000-08:002009-02-10T06:53:00.000-08:00My post is up.
