The Hunger Games to this day is one of my favourite series. I really need to reread it soon.

I use Storygraph because you can rate books in increments of .25 stars. I treat it like a grade out of 100%, so 5 stars = 100% perfect book 4.75 stars = 95% Etc.

I enjoyed the series though I didn't find it to be amazing which is more than I can say of his other book 'Sand.'

Such an excellent book!

There are millions of subscribers to this subreddit. There are purists and gatekeepers in any hobby. Don't let someone else yuck your yum.

Hunger Games gave me an excellent reading experience and I didn't find it until my 40s.

5 stars - It has become a part of my personality and I think about it all the time, I would recommend it everytime I could, cause personally they are must reads!

4 stars - I loved it and I think about it regularly I would recommend it if it suits the person's interests

3 stars - I liked the writing and the story but there wasnt a lot I gained from the book and I dont think about it too often, I wouldnt feel bad recommending these books but I would recommend something that matters more for me personally if I have the chance

2 stars - I didnt enjoy the writing style or the substence and it made me feel like I have wasted my time.

1 star - I hated the book and I would rather eat hot magma than read it again. (this one only has one book for now and its "The Box Man" by Kobo Abe, who also coincidentally has one of the best books I have ever read which is "The Woman In The Dunes")

>Yes it’s YA, but that doesn’t mean it’s badly written.

Being YA doesn't necessarily mean it's poorly written, but in this case it happens to be both YA and poorly written.

Seeing lots of The Advocate here recently. Like…a front page post every day. Interesting

You were probably asking too many questions about the flavors and that's why you didn't get any ice cream. 😂

Ah I get it now

I rate 1 through 5 stars.

5 stars - An all time favorite

4 stars - A book I thoroughly enjoyed, may read again, and will likely share.

3 stars - I read it, I thought it was ok.

2 stars - It just didn’t work for me.

1 stars - I probably stopped reading at some point because I disliked it so much.

I tend to be more apt to rate something I like than something I don’t like though.

I mean I'm not saying it's wrong or that people shouldn't write it or read it, I'm saying that sometimes I don't want to read it right now.

And I'm sick of people acting like I'm taking a moral stance when I just occasionally just don't want to read about hate directed at myself. When I ask for a book rec without themes of misogyny I'm tired of people acting like I want to ban misogynistic characters. I just want to have fun without being reminded of real world misogyny sometimes. If I want an escapist fantasy from the real world sometimes misogyny is what I want to escape from. If I want to read a book with misogynistic characters or themes I can pick up almost any book.

Not the person you're replying to, but I'd imagine it means they were raised Catholic, have since left the religion, and don't have a particularly fond view of it (hence "recovering").

I read the ebooks as they came out years ago. The novella was surprising, Wool was engaging, Shift gave you insights in how they got there and Dust is the conclusion. The author allows other people to write books in the shared universe. You get to see other authors stories, styles and skills.

If you love the series to the end, I recommend the spin off series written by Ann Christy. The first book is Going Dark, which I highly recommend. The series was endorsed by Hugh Howey.

I wish they have half stars. Story graph lets you rate books with .25 increments and I find it better. For instance 3 is a very average book to me and 4 Mena's that I enjoyed it but it wasn't amazing or I'm not likely to read it again. Sometimes I really want to do 3.5 stars because it's not quite 4/5 yet

I am nonbinary, but I hadn’t really thought of that when I made the post.

Sorry for my carelessness.

Libraries usually have a Bible in the collection.

Y’al-Qaeda is at it again it seems.

5 stars - the best books I've ever read. Only 20 spots available (although I think I need to update the number to 5% of all read books).

4 stars - very good books, enjoyed them, will probably read them again sometime.

3 stars - ok books. Nothing that particularly marks them as good or bad.

2 stars - finished it. There are some problems with it, but nothing that completely breaks them.

1 star - didn't finish, or finished out of spite. Hate it, important problems that break the book.
