Kate S | 6459 comments In honor of Stanisław Lem's birthday, read a book with an average rating of 4.0 or higher.

Please post any questions, comments or recommendations for task 20.3 in this thread.


Elizabeth (Alaska) If you don't have it already, there is a setting for your shelves that shows average rating. You can sort by that column. There are also lists, just in case! The description for this list includes links to other lists with the requisite average rating.

Books With a Goodreads Average Rating of 4.3 and Above

Elizabeth (Alaska) I'm going to lock in a 4.0 for Cloudstreet. I would hope it doesn't slip ...

And a note, yes, you can lock in ratings, but unless it is very close to 4.0, it probably isn't necessary.

Valerie Brown | 3292 comments Just as an FYI - the link above is incorrect. They've spelled his name wrong.

Stanislaw Lem is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


Elizabeth (Alaska) Thanks, Valerie. We'll fix it.

message 13: by Rebekah (new)

Rebekah (bekalynn) Could we go ahead and lock in all the group reads books that qualify? There seems to be quite a few of them.

Elizabeth (Alaska) It is only necessary to post in this thread those books that are close to 4.0. But they should be in this thread if you're worried about them dropping below 4.0. (I had not planned on looking up every book before they are posted in the Completed Tasks thread.)

Ok. Fair enough. How close is close? Reputation is 4.1 and Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City is 4.15

Would the books I listed in post 11 at 4.04, 4.05 and 4.07 need to be locked in?

These are close enough. But 4.1 and 4.15 are not close.

Bryony (bryony46) | 247 comments I’d like to lock in Tap to Tidy by Stacey Solomon. It’s rated 4.04 at the moment but it has relatively few ratings so the rating might change before I finish reading it.

Mary | 1418 comments I would like to lock in Millie, M.D.: The Story of a Nineteenth Century Woman, 1846-1927 by Helen Dann Stringer at 4.5 (but only 2 ratings).

I haven’t decided whether to use this for COA or One of the other tasks. Better safe than sorry!
