Question I would love for anyone and everyone to answer….

I know it has been talked about over and over but I have been giving letter grades a bit of thought over the past few days. I never ‘graded’ reviews before I was apart of AAR. So that pretty much shaped my view of what the letter grades meant. I still pretty much think along the same lines but wondered what you thought.

If you personally grade your books, as I know more than a few of you keep reader logs, what is a “C” grade to you?

If you review what is a “C” grade?

If you are reading a review, how do you view a “C” grade?

If you are an author, how do you ‘view’ a C grade and is it different than how you feel about it when reading a review of another book?

I admit I do not see a C grade as a bad grade. C = average. It could be a book I have seen a 100 times before, enjoyed while reading and forgot it as soon as I closed the book. “I” don’t see that as a bad book but it isn’t a B either. A C grade could be a book that hit a few buttons but nothing that made me want to throw it over. A book I would grade a C is a book I could see a lot of people reading and liking or loving.

I have to say though, as a reader I don’t pay much attention to the letter as much as the commentary. Am I the only one that doesn’t think C = bad?
