219. February, Week 3: Rating Roulette

Book Club Babes

Show Notes

HEY BABES, welcome to Rating Roulette!!

This week, we picked some of our all-time favourite books (Project Hail Mary, Never Saw Me Coming, Firekeeper’s Daughter, Beartown, The Bell Jar, Wild Dark Shore, and Fourth Wing), then took a deep dive into the Goodreads trenches seaching each rating from 1 to 5 and found the best, funniest, and most unhinged reviews we could find.

From glowing praise to brutal honesty, this episode proves one thing: the same book can be someone’s life-changing favourite… and someone else’s absolute nightmare.

Listen for laughs, hot takes, and the reminder that ratings are subjective and readers are passionate.
