My ratings are:
5 stars: 4
4 stars: 17
3 stars: 25
2 stars: 7
abandoned: 7 (they weren't bad books, just not my style)
Average rating: 3.27 (not counting the abandoned books)
The ratings are from my goodreads account, added after I finished each book. When I counted them for this post I saw some interesting things: the first book in a series I like usually has a higher score than the next books (not necessarily because it's better, but because the novelty of the series has worn off after it and I tend to round down when I get to rate the next books) and I seem to be far less critical of fantasy books.

I like this system and I think for this year I'll try something similar. I just have to find a way to handle books I abandon because I'm not interested, not because they're bad.
