CAWPILE Rating
One of the things that I want to do more in 2025 is actually stick to my rating system instead of rating off of vibes. I've adapted the CAWPILE method for couple of years but I haven't been entirely faithful to it. This year, however, I hope to change that.

Each point earns up to ten points and then you divide the total score by seven to get your average and from there you appoint a rating to it. I made one small adjustment for me but overall it remained the same.
0 stars = DNF
1 star = 0-2.4
2 stars = 2.5-4.9
3 stars = 5.0-6.9
4 stars = 7.0-8.5
5 stars = 8.6-10
It's not perfect and it doesn't account for nonfiction. But I don't read that much nonfiction so meh....
