"I shouldn't have to suffer through this man's character development" - Destiny Sidwell 2023. I will forever go by this now when I'm reading a romance because yes, I am one of those people that needs to like the love interest to root for the romance.

Three stars is not a bad rating! I personally feel like you shouldn’t have more than 10% of your annual reads be 5 stars because I treat five stars like other people treat their “six stars.” Four star is LOVED. Three is, like you said, I liked it and had a good time. ITS NOT BAD!!!

I like that you don't even try to sugar coat anything and don't shy away from saying you didn't understand a book. I respect that. I definitely felt dumb once or twice whilst reading something. Great video ❤

@Lillyjoy 10 ай бұрын

Yay a wrap up! For me 3 stars means I didn’t like it that much or I thought it was just ok, and there were multiple things I didn’t like. 4 stars for me is how you described your 3 stars, but I don’t think people should be giving you the side eye for not liking a book! (Even though you did like it)

@squidwardtentacles7144 10 ай бұрын

That's literally how I rate books too, but except my ratings are just out of 10 instead of 5, however, they're still the same. Like 6/10=3/5 or 9/10=4.5. So, I understand why people make think 3 stars isn't a good rating (based on how we view 3 stars), but like you said she shouldn't get hate for it. It's her opinion. Like it's not that deep.

Hey des can u do a vid (once u get thru ur book buying ban) where u read genres u usually never read so like graphic novels (heartstopper), magnga, sci fi, historic romance… Would love to see that

@cataclysm8603 10 ай бұрын

when it comes to rating books, I use 3 as a neutral ground, meaning I didn't love it and I didn't hate but I enjoyed it. sometimes i'll go back and re read a 3 star book to see if my opinion has changed but usually i leave at least a month between that so i have a fresh mind going into it.

If you want a darker read that seems similar to The Cellar, you should read The Butterfly Garden. That’s a book that is definitely more adult & more unsettling

Fantasy is THE BEST! It's like escaping your own world and being a part of someone elses. I love how you get to paint and imagine the world with your own pictures. I'm currently reading the “Dance of Thieves”-duology and I'll highly recommend it to those who have read some fantasy before, but maybe not to those who just got into fantasy. But it's an AMAZING duology! 👀

I didn’t like red rising that much (I did give it a 4 for the ending though). But the series does get amazing! I’m currently waiting for Iron Gold to be ready from my library. I’d recommend reading and listening to the audiobook. Like at the same time. It helps so much! Bump the speed up. You’ll understand the lingo better. And you’ll laugh at the jokes! And I gave the second book a 5 stars because of that. I used to do this trick for Ap Lit/ Lang. So you should also do that for your classic books such as Frankenstein and Dracula! That’s what I did to read Frankenstein. It wasn’t bad. I hope that helps someone out there!👍🏽
