I had a lot of reading dissatisfaction this year; my average GR rating plunged to 3.1 from 3.3. I thought KU accounted for this in part and it turns out I was right. My average rating on KU books was a dismal 2.5 and if I take them out of my rating for the year, it improves to 3.2. Still a drop, and there’s rounding going on also, obviously, but it’s telling. No KU book got a rating over three and that’s the acid test.
I did know KU wasn’t my thing.* I don’t regret it, however; it let me read several books on a topic of interest that I never would have paid for (and quite right at that).
*A KU promotional membership was a required element in a deal I wanted. And the joke’s on me - when I quit, I was offered three more months for $1.99 and I took it. I figured if I read only one book I’d come out ahead. However, I’m going to be very picky over this period; the whole “life’s too short to read bad books” thing.
