Casual Book Ranking Research
A couple of months ago, as I was finishing my last EmHen read and procrastinating on my actual research, I decided to scour this subreddit and collect as many rankings as possible. I collected 267 different rankings, then threw them into a spreadsheet, and calculated the average score for each book. I recently remembered that this existed and decided it might be worth sharing. So, here's the final ranking, along with each book's average score:
- Funny Story (2.66)
- Book Lovers (2.75)
- Beach Read (2.96)
- People We Meet On Vacation (3.62)
- Happy Place (3.76)
- Great Big Beautiful Life (4.29)
A quick note: many of the rankings were submitted before GBBL, so that's definitely a limitation to keep in mind. Books were scored on a scale of 1–6 (with 1 being the highest and 6 being the lowest). I also stupidly decided not to collect usernames, so there's a chance that if someone reshared their ranking multiple times, it may have been counted more than once.
Not claiming this to be rigorous research by any means, but it was a fun little project nonetheless. On that note, share your rankings—I'm oh so curious!!
