Their amazing panel discussion of the topic with a bunch of booktubers you will be so grateful to have found, if you haven't already:
youtu.be/XAIRew-qVOg
Questions:
1. Tag folks.
2. How do you know you’ve just finished a good book? Is it a thinking or a feeling response?
3. When you begin to form your review/rating - what is the first question you ask yourself?
4. Do you do star ratings? Why? Why not?
a. If YES:
i. Explain your star rating system – what does a good book get in your rating system?
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?
5. Do you believe every book has its perfect reader? Does this contradict the idea that a book can be “bad”?
6. What book that you hated have you recommended?
7. What makes a book good, bad or great by your evaluation?
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?
9. Do you consider star ratings or ave. ratings when choosing books to read/add to your TBR?
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?
11. Does that/those booktuber(s) use different language than you to evaluate and review the overall quality of a book?

I've turned off my comments (for a while, I'm thinking of reporting in this month). The comments I've gotten in the past are great. I'm just neurotic guy and have been stressed over keeping up my end. Want to hear more? Check out this video:
