GR stars

Posted in: 2021 posts | Reading

Goodreads' rating system is weird... and I'm stuck with it. 

3/5 stars rating is usually the middle or average for me but when it comes to Goodreads, it means "I liked it" which isn't always the case. So I always end up giving books a 2-stars rating. I can just ignore them, yes, but it bothers me whenever I hover over the stars to pick a rating. That's why I just end up using it. 

Anyway.. I'm not complaining. I just want to add my own descriptions(?) for the ratings. It might be one of them or all of them combined. 

★☆☆☆☆ did not like it
-Hated it 
-I never want to read it again
-I don't like the story or characters
 
★★☆☆☆ it was ok
-Average
-Nothing special
-Maybe overrated but I still enjoy reading it
-Enjoyed it when I read it before but not really now...
-I don't like certain scenes

★★★☆☆ liked it
-I liked how it ended
-I like certain characters
-I loved and hated it at the same time

★★★★☆ really liked it
-I loved most of it
-One or two favourite characters
-I loved the story

★★★★★ it was amazing
-Really, really loved it
-I'll buy the annotated version
-Favourite characters that I want to be like
-Can't read other books after I finished it


I guess this is more like a reference for me in the future...? Will edit it if I change my mind or there's something new I want to add.
