I’m also trying a new rating system, which I also lifted from TikTok (and if I ever find the video again I’ll link the creator here). This rating system involves rating a book on five different topics (pleasure, purpose, prose, plot, and personal) and then taking the average of those five sub-ratings as the overall rating for the book. I’m not sure whether I’ll stick with this long-term, but at least for now it does seem like a good way to organize my thoughts on a book, so I’ll give it a try for at least a few books to see how it feels.
