Goodreads
I've seen a post about it on Reddit few days ago (& I guess it's officially up now?)...
HALF (& quarter) STARS on Goodreads!!!
I didn't expect them to do quarters too but I did have them ready as well. The 4.8 stars rating will have to settle with being 4.75. That's as close as it can be.
The last time I blogged about GR was way back in February about them finally having an official DNF shelf. I mentioned (kind off) a bit about this half-star thing and honestly I wasn't hoping much—since they had no plans on doing it in the past— but then... I guess they had a change of mind. Someone mentioned on r/books that maybe GR finally felt the need because people are leaving GR to move to other reading tracker sites.
Anyway. I was so, so, SO ready for this!
Look, I have these shelves for books I gave such ratings to.
I haven't updated my books ratings yet as of now because I want to blog about it before I forget lol. And I think it's good to let it sit for a few days first for any probable bugs before I go do a massive editing on the ratings.
Edit around 11pm same day:
- As expected, at this time, I can't use the desktop version to edit the ratings. But I can do that in the mobile app.
- As consideration for other people's feeds: Please turn this off in Account Settings > Feeds (of course, you can turn it on back later)
Unselect "Add a book to your shelves" I usually have all of them selected (and you have the option to not add to the feed if you edit the rating on desktop) but since I'm doing it on the app, I had to turn this option off. This helps to not fill up other people's feeds on GR. At first, I thought it's the last option ("new status") but apparently editing is considered "adding" a book to shelves. Yes, you can delete manually later but I don't really wanna do that when I have over 100 book ratings to be edited... - Overall, the whole editing process is pretty fast. I can do it on my phone while I watch something on Youtube. Especially helpful that I already have them tagged/shelved properly for easy editing later.
