5 stars = 10 (including two re-reads)
4 stars = 61
3 stars = 51
2 stars = 13
1 star = 0
Average = 3.50
For comparison, my last year's ratings:
5 stars = 7
4 stars = 63
3 stars = 78
2 stars = 20
1 star = 3
Average 3.29
I don't think I've been less discerning this year, but I have been more careful about picking my reads. Also, in 2012 I did an experiment of reading at least one self-published book a month, several of them picked completely randomly on the basis of "free on Amazon and looked vaguely interesting", so that had a small effect as well.
