I struggle with this a bit. Even if the book is 3.98 stars, i view that as not passing lowest bar. I consider most 4 stars books to not be there time, but rather the number of stars is how i filter out bad books

Also, how do you use your stars? Do you change your rating often?

For me, it generally goes like this:

• 1 Star -Either its so bad that its offense or i dnf it
• 2 Stars - Either bad or mediocre, not really work any time
• 3 Stars - An okay book with a couple of redeeming points
• 4 Stars - A great book with some flaws that bother me
• 5 Stars - An excellent book, i am jumping in my sits.
