Reply to Do you ever Google terms in books that you don’t understand? by imperator-curiosa

I actually do pause and Google words I don’t know if it isn’t immediately obvious from the context.

Reply to Do you judge a book by its cover? What do you look at when deciding whether to rent or buy a book? by KittyLord0824

My first judgement of a book I've never heard of actually comes from its title. If it has a beautiful cover and a title that doesn't pique my interest, I probably won't take a second look. Once I see a title that sticks out to me, then I'll look at the cover art, summary, and maybe flip some pages to see stuff like chapter titles and page number.

Reply to Why is 5 stars the go to rating? by iamwhoiwasnow

See this is why I like TheStoryGraph. It's a 5-star scale, yes, but it lets you do 0.5 and 0.25 stars, so really it's a 20-star scale if you want to get that specific.
