Scott and Nelle have created a fantastic new tag, the ratings and reviews tag! There are some great questions, and hopefully I’ve answered them in an interesting way.

----- Questions & Chapters -----
00:00 Intro
01:04 1. Tag folks.
01:38 2. How do you know you’ve just finished a good book? Is it a thinking or a feeling response?
02:35 3. When you begin to form your review/rating - what is the first question you ask yourself?
03:26 4. Do you do star ratings? Why? Why not?
a. If YES
04:37 i. Explain your star rating system – what does a good book get in your rating system?
06:29 ii. Is your star rating consistent? ie. are all your 5 star books better than all your 4 star books?
b. If NO
i. What language do you use to convey the quality of a book in your reviews?
ii. Does this form an informal rating or ranking?
08:22 5. Do you believe every book has its perfect reader? Does this contradict the idea that a book can be “bad”?
09:41 6. What book that you hated have you recommended?
10:25 7. What makes a book good, bad or great by your evaluation?
13:19 8. When evaluating the quality of a book do you have specific criteria or aspects of the book, such as character development, that you consider? Does this change if you are writing an in-depth review vs. just thinking about the book for enjoyment?
15:04 9. Do you consider star ratings or ave. ratings when choosing books to read/add to your TBR?
16:03 10. Who on BookTube; does reliable and interesting reviews of books that you know you can use to decide if a book is for you or not. What makes their reviews so good?
17:31 11. Does that/those booktuber(s) use different language than you to evaluate and review the overall quality of a book?
