57: How Do You Rate Books?

Show notes: How exactly do you rate a book? What criteria do you use? What makes you add or take away a star? Is a 3-star rating positive? We get asked these questions quite frequently and that’s what we’ll be discussing in this episode. Plus, we share our most recent 1-star, 2-star, 3-star, etc. reads.
