To round up, or not to round up

Okay, this will be short and to the point.  I’m in a quandary (this isn’t a unique feeling so don’t be too concerned).  I don’t rate books on my blog because I hope the tone will either come across as super positive/excited, okay, or not so much, and I’ve already had a discussion about this in a previous post and don’t wish to revisit – however, when I review on Goodreads, Netgalley, etc, then a rating system is used (as you all know!) – and sometimes I want to give a half star which simply isn’t possible.  That half star makes a big difference in my humble opinion – so, to the point, do I round up or round down.  Either way feels a little bit unfair!

(A 10 point/star rating would be so much easier if anybody with ‘the power’ is listening – come on, with great power, etc, etc,).

Anyway – do you round up or round down???
