The (Half) Stars Have Aligned

Half stars are here! And quarter stars, too. More ways to say exactly what you mean.
Every reader has their own opinions about rating: Your personal philosophy for when to award 5 stars. Rounding up or down when you were stuck in between ratings (our community was split almost evenly on this one). Whether you’ve wanted more nuance in your ratings or have always loved the simplicity of whole stars. Now you don’t have to choose.
How It Works
• Select your rating and slide to fine-tune. Give a book 4.5, 3.25, or a classic whole-star rating. Whatever your bookish heart desires.• Your existing ratings won't change... unless you want them to. Update your ratings anytime.• If you rate on your Kindle device, you can always pop over to Goodreads to refine it.This was readers' #1 request, and we couldn't wait to tell you about it. We appreciate all the feedback we get. We're listening, so keep it coming!
