[quote=Anonymous]I think of it as a dog show. I'm rating for the "breed standard". So if I read a mystery that is amazing within the mystery genre, it gets 5 stars. If I read a Toni Morrison novel that is not as good as her other novels or other modern classics, it gets 3 or 4 stars, even though it's better than the mystery I referenced above. My star ratings are really about enjoyment and connection and are emotionally given right after I read a book. I also write a review/reflection of every book I read, and that gets into more details.
