I love how you add the extra pic of the book you’re currently talking about 🤗 I like taking screenshots of book recs and with tier ranking vids that’s usually hard unless I zoom in lol so thank you! And this encouraged me to write out my “definition” of star ratings to make it easier lol, even the quarter ratings so ik why something is a 3.25 instead of a 3 for example
I loved this video! As a booktuber who suffers from being uncomfortable with star ratings, you've inspired me to get over myself as well. I really appreciated your tier "reasoning" and the time you took to talk through all of the books. I find that there are a lot of high rated books or low rated books in the star ratings and I was having difficulty creating meaning out of the mid-range ratings but the way you've set this up makes good sense to me. I might have to "borrow" your method! I love that you included a tier for "forgot"...too true!
That makes me feel better about Boulder lol and feel free to use the same reasoning for your ratings! I think it helps me when I try to frame it as how much I would recommend it to people. Especially when I'm driving between 2, 3, and 4
Star ratings are something I always do, but they definitely change over time. Sometimes I go back and think why did I give that rating! I think I'm really reserved with giving 5* for films, but give them a bit too easily for books. This was a fun watch 😊
The opening chat with your cat! 😂🐈⬛ I also loved The Secret History. Totally agree on not wanting to talk about Pod anymore! Definitely going to try some of your other top ones. 😊
Great effort on the video. New to this book tube malarkey and finding my way around. Best wishes with your reading choices in 2024 and I hope you get some excellent reads.
Like you I keep the five star rating for the really special and it usually works out at around 10% of the books I have read. My rating with the most books is easily four stars, being fairly selective about what I read helps that!
Hi. just one issue. I'm sure you know that Jack Nicholson did not write One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest. Please note that somewhere. Thanks You are so smart and pleasant . . .

Also, I just finished reading Boulder today and was very disappointed after hearing it so highly praised - I felt the same as you did.

I imagine I'll end up wanting to change sometimes haha maybe at the end of the year I should look back on them and see if I still agree 😊
Thank you!

I can't wait to see which book will be super divisive from this year's women's prize long list 😂

Yes! It means so much more to give it a 5 that way!

This was fun! Sorry your cat was disinterested!

For some reason, it's become fashionable to dislike or hate The Secret History, sadly.
You and me are complete on the opposite side on how we feel about the secret history cause I hated it
