What does rating characters mean to you? The extent of their complexity? How realistic? Their arc? Likeability?

What moves you to rate one or five stars? and where do you usually fall?

As the title suggests, how do you rate your books? I'm aware that not everyone leaves reviews but a lot still rate them anyway. I find that I'm quite lenient with mine and go 4 as a base just as long as it entertained me and had enough of a hook that made me enjoy the read. According to my stats, I average about a 4.2 rating overall and I'm wondering if the high average has something to do with me being a mood reader and just picking out the right books that fit my mood. I do try to be fair with the reviews I leave as much as possible.

On that note, do you read reviews? Ironically, I tend not to except when something about the book pisses me off 😂

So, for those of us neurosparkly enough to have a spreadsheet for quests (just a guess most of those who have them are some flavor or neurodivergent.) How do you organize them? I started one and it a sheet, in one one doc, for each quest, but I'm in a LOT of quests. I won't make a sheet for any quests I'm not at least sort of actively working on, and I've color-coded the sheets-dark green for ones I haven't gotten a badge on, a deep yellow for bronze, medium grey for silver, etc. But I'm afraid it's going to be a bit much. Should I have a different doc for each genre? Seperate ones for side vs main quests?

I'm putting in the books I'm interested in reading for each quest, so I can estimate what badge Ievel I'll get to. As well as a checkmark once it's finished plus date finished & rating. I also have a checkbox to check if I own the book in any form.

How do you organzie them so it's not just scrolling and scrolling to find the quest you want?

Good evening Bookaholics!!

I have a good question for you all today!

If you could only read 2 genres for the rest of your life, what would they be? 🤔

Personally, it would be Romance and Classics for me. I feel like romance itself can have so many subgenres within the book, and classics itself is such a huge range with so many different genres that all fit into 'classical literature'!
