Highly Recommended

Equivalent to 5 stars on Goodreads.

My all-time favorite reads. There was almost nothing I disliked about this book, and if there was, everything that I enjoyed about the book just immensely outweighed it. I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of genre tastes.

Recommended

Equivalent to 4 stars on Goodreads.

The books that I enjoyed but didn’t like enough to consider a 5-star read. There are more likes than dislikes, but the dislikes in these books are rubbed me the wrong way. Such dislikes will be indicated in any published reviews.

Barely Recommended

Equivalent to 3 stars on Goodreads.

I enjoyed some aspects of the book like its characters or its plot, and I’m glad I read it,  but I can’t fully recommend this book because it’s not one I would want to read again. Such dislikes will be indicated in any published reviews.

Not Recommended

Equivalent to 1-2 stars on Goodreads.

There was nothing redeemable or enjoyable about this book and I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone. Dislikes outweigh the likes and there may be some problematic content or poor writing. Such dislikes will be indicated in any published reviews.
