I struggle with reviewing books between ‘am I giving this a rating based on the books objective quality’ or ‘my personal rating’. A book I may rate 1 because I didn’t enjoy reading/just wasn’t for me I could also rate a 4 if asked for the former rating system. For people using goodreads as a personal library/bookshelf, they could be lowering the rating of a book based on personal taste.
