Sort of similar to the way you do it, but with exceptions. I rate my books a little harshly at times, so I rarely have 5 star reads. I don't rate them objectively, it's irrelevant how well written a book is if I hated it. My ratings are purely my enjoyment of it
5 = all time new fave, really affected me emotionally
4 = quality book, will definitely reread, just not in the top 10%
3 = I liked it, but not as memorable or interesting as I'd have wanted
2 = kinda bad, but there was something redeemable that kept it from being a 1
1 = I literally despise this book and enjoyed nothing
