Fbone, if you only had ONE 5 star book for the year, either you aren't reading that many books or you need to seek some better reading material. You don't want to waste your reading life on so-so books. I found book clubs in my favorite genres to be very helpful in this regard. Lots of them on Goodreads.

As to your categorizing, you could try 'Phenomenal Books' for a shelf and keep them there. Reminds you to revisit those in the future. Interestingly enough, I've never read Steinbeck and unfortunately, our library does not have Cannary Row in either Ebook or audiobook, so I'll just have to put it on my wishlist and get it in the future. Same with the two sci fi books you mention. Our reading tastes may be very different, but I'm always willing to try a sci fi that someone truly loves.
