I seen this tag on Way Too Fantasy and I just had to give it a go!!

I haven’t read any books since I’ve been on Goodreads that are below a 3.12 average
9. Do you tend to agree or disagree with GR average rating and do you use GR as a guide for books you want to read?
I would say overall absolutely.. the majority of my rating coincide with the average! I will typically look to see what the average rating is before I start a book, but it doesn’t sway my opinions at all.
