Blogmas Day 7 Book Talk: GoodReads Rating… and How I Rate

Welcome to day 7 of blogmas.  Today is all about how I rate books on Goodreads and my pet peeves when people rate books

I feel that sometimes I'm way to generous when it comes to rating a book then other times not so much. Some popular books I find are the ones that I rate harshly because they are so hyped up where as not so popular books and even authors I've tended to rate really well. 

• I Hate HATE .____ 

I hate when people put in the .(dot) then 25, 50, 75, or what ever random fucking number you feel like. If it's under whatever.5 round it down. If it's over whatever.5 round it up. 

• Popular Books

Books that people on the book tube part of YouTube completely rave about are normally ones that I tend to give lower ratings on. For many reasons but the main is because it's not as good as the person is making out to be 

How I Rate Books I've Read

Each book I read I'll always start it off by giving it a five star rating even before I've read a word. Then depending on various things that I've blogged about Before depends on wether it stays like that. The biggest ones are obviously story line/plot, characters. 

One of the other things is popular Books. I've had a massive thing where popular books haven't lived up to the hype.
