GR Book Rating Question

Do you give books you haven't finished a rating on GR?

Re: GR Book Rating Question

  • No but I might write it in the comments why I didn't finish it.  If it is one I plan on finishing, I wait until the end to give it a rating.

  • It depends on why I didn't finish them. If I just lost interest because the book wasn't for me, then I won't rate it, if I didn't finish it because it was awful, then I will.

    My new bff Gayle Forman!

    “You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control"
    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

    Married Bio

    Lizzie's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

  • I mark it DNF and don't rate it.  In my mind, it IS rated, it's just zero stars. 

    Books I've lost interest in for whatever reason or had to return to the library half-read I usually leave as currently reading.  I have a bad record with finishing biographies.  I like the idea of reading biographies more than I actually like reading them.

  • Books that I don't like and don't finish I mark as "didn't finish" and don't rate them. If it just doesn't grab me at the time but I might return to it later I move it back to my "owned but not read" shelf.

    Jessica Ninneman's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • If a book is truly awful, I'll still give it one star if I didn't finish it.  If I didn't finish it because it wasn't my cup of tea or some other reason, I won't rate it.
  • I only give a book 1 star if I didn't finish...so yes I rate them.
