I am just so amazed that this man is not losing his mind. I know I would be lol

This might be a silly question but how do you decide the quality rating of a book? Like what aspects do you consider to decide how many stars to rate it?

Fellow bookies 🫶🏼 After brainstorming for questions to put into my new Reading Journal (thanks for the ideas, btw), I’m presenting the final 50 questions 🎉 (Please correct me if I got something wrong, since English isn’t my first language..)

So I live in Germany and follow many bookfluencers.

I can’t recall any English speaking bookfluencers talking about these cards. Are they a German thing only or did I miss something? 😂 Plus: if you know them, what‘s your opinion about them?

I rly wanna be active when it comes to reading, like annotating and writing reviews and everything, but I was wondering if anyone is struggling with this? Like in this site especially I would like to have a rating for every book I've read, maybe a nice self where they could fit, but it feels like so much work. I think I wanna push for the reviews but book journaling and everything else is so hard to get into, eventually it makes reading a chore and ruins the cute, aesthetic organizing. Does anyone have any fun suggestions for making reading more interesting as an activity? Cause I don't think book journaling is for me
