Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Unlikable Characters You Can’t Help but Love. I am not doing that topic, mainly because my memory stinks and I can't remember any. So, I looked at past topics and decided to do "Books I loved that have less than 2000 ratings on Goodreads." But, when I looked at my favorites in Goodreads, I realized that could be most of my books 😢 so decided to narrow it down to those with less than 200, and books that have been out at least a year. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
10 Books I loved that have less than 200 ratings (click on the book if you want to read my review):
Transforming Your Thought Life has 139 Ratings, is rated 4.63, my rating= 5 stars.
The Gift of Christmas Past has 178 ratings, is rated 4.24, my rating= 5 stars.
A Light in Bailey's Harbor has 7 ratings, is rated 4.24, my rating=4 stars.
The Bristol Park Detective has 105 ratings, is rated 4.37, my rating=4 stars.
The Prisoner of Lazerev has 42 ratings, is rated 4.71, my rating=5 stars
The Songs That Could Have Been has 139 ratings, is rated 4.55, my rating=5 stars
The Last Piece has 68 ratings, is rated 4.41, my rating=5 stars.
10 Ways to Fall In Love With Your Bible has 78 ratings, is rated 4.17, my rating=5 stars
Seen has 153 ratings, is rated 4.45, my rating=5 stars
Hullabaloo has 15 ratings, is rated3.73, my rating = 4 stars

That's a lovely twist on today's topic. I haven't done any because it's the beginning of the month and I already have two posts. But I enjoyed yours. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Marianne!
DeleteThese post are always so fun and give hype to deserving books.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna!
DeleteI love this idea for a prompt Cindy! I also have quite a few books that I LOVED, but they have less than 200 reviews. So sad... I will try to remember this one for a future freebie post!

It is sad! I hope you do do it :)
DeleteI've not read any of these! I think I would struggle with this topic as I think most of the books I've got on my Goodreads read shelf either have more than 200 ratings or if they don't then they're either fairly recent or all part of the same fairly obscure/old series!

It was sadly easy for me! The original prompt was 2000 but I had SO many it would have been impossible to narrow down.
DeleteA great twist on today's prompt. They look like interesting books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Thanks Emily!
DeleteI love that you focused on books with less than 200 ratings. I will have to look into some of these. :-)
ReplyDeleteMeezan, it's sad, I wish they had more reviews, but this is one way I can bring awareness ;)
DeleteA great twist on this week's topic! I love learning about books through other blogs.

So do I, Pam :)
DeleteGreat take on the topic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg!
DeleteI love to find books that other people have loved but that haven't gotten a lot of buzz. Thank you, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, I do too!
DeleteI like your topic better! I hope your move is going well for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, we closed on our house that we have been in for 6 1/2 years yesterday, will close on the next house on the 11th.
DeleteI like this idea a lot and it will show up on my blog someday. I'll be curious to see what books makes that kind of a list. There's actually so many ways to parse the rankings/ratings/reviews/rating, etc on GR, it makes for a lot of possibilities.

Terrie, so true! I am constantly learning new stuff on Goodreads!
DeleteThis is a great topic! I usually shy away from books that have been out for awhile but have really low ratings. Good for you for giving them a chance and how interesting that you ended up really liking all these. It just shows that if a book sounds like it's up your alley, you should go ahead and give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Thanks Susan, I think rating books is also more popular than it used to be. So, maybe some of those books that have been out a while are loved, just not reviewed.
DeleteWhat a great way to bring some of these books that need some love to our attention. I haven't read any, but I will be checking a couple of them out, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Carla :)
ReplyDeleteI like this topic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarita!
DeleteI will look for the 10 ways to fall in love with your Bible. Sounds like a worthy read. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I hope you enjoy it, I plan to read it again!
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but nice list. Some of the best books are underrated.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with that :)
DeleteIt's always fun to spotlight books that have lesser ratings are are less popular. I think I participated in this topic once, and it was fun to spotlight those books. :) Thanks so much for visiting my list on this week.
ReplyDeleteRissi, I love supporting authors in this way!
