As of 2019, I've begun using Goodreads. (To view my profile, click here.) Looking back on some of the reviews I gave books on this blog I realize that I have changed slightly how I rate books. Therefore, there may be differences in the star rating I give on the blog and what I give on Goodreads. With my current viewpoint, this will likely mean that some books I originally gave a 5/5 rating now have a 4/5 and those I gave a 4/5 now have a 3/5.
This change is due to my view that a 3/5 is not a bad rating for a book. In general, most books probably should get a 3/5 as that would be average. Anything above or below a 3 should be exceptional in some way. Ratings are always subjective, so my conclusions may/will differ than yours. And I'm still human, so my ratings may not always seem to align. I'm not going to take the time to review and alter everything or reread books most books. It just isn't a priority.
