This week we are sharing our favorite books with under 2000 ratings on Goodreads. Maybe I never really looked at this statistic but seriously, I had no idea I have read so many books with so few ratings.
I had so many I actually decided to share 12!
"Fatal Festival Days" is the 3rd in the Dog Day Mystery series and it only has 12 ratings. Needless to say, I love this whole series. "The Supernatural Pet Sitter" by Diane Moat is one of the cutest MG books I've read in a long time and I can't believe it only has 16 ratings. Finally, "Atomic Frenchie" got 5 paws from me but only 27 other people have rated it.
I certainly love my horror so it's no surprise that "Dread and Breakfast" made my list with only 31 ratings. "Night Shift" has 40 and "Mormama" has 64.
Two Hunter Shea books made my list and I can't recommend this author enough. I was shocked to see that "Creature," a 5 paw read for me, only has 202 ratings and "Rattus New Yorkus" has 84.
Finally, the whole Barkery and Biscuits series by Linda O. Johnston has under 2000 ratings and I've loved all 4 and am getting ready to read the 5th next month. I would recommend all dog lovers read all of Jackie Bouchard's books. "Stray Magic" was certainly one of my faves and it has only 83 ratings. And another pet-centric cozy, "A Midwinter's Tail" which is one of the best of the series only has 161 ratings.
So there you have it. Some of my favorite books and all of them have under 500 Goodreads ratings. Man, people are missing out on a lot of good books. And it's probably no surprise that my list is a lot of dogs and a lot of horror.
What made your list this week???
The only ones I know on here are Mormama and the Hunter Shea book. Both are on my TBR, I just need to make time to check them out :)

They are both pretty awesome. Mormama is a tad slow, but I still enjoyed it.
DeleteFrenchie should rule the world, er Goodreads, with way more ratings than that! for the cover alone!!
ReplyDeleteI know. I totally agree with you!
DeleteI think most of what I read will be low rated because I read mainly Indie horror and apocalypse! I just went with a simple list of shark books instead as I'm short of time at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI think that's what happened with me. Hey, sometimes indie is the way to go. And I'm always down for a shark list!
DeleteI had trouble with this prompt, when I realized most of my favorite books have less than 2000 ratings. I think it would have been better to have the number at 1000, but oh well. I gave up!
ReplyDeleteSomeone pointed out that all of mine had under 500 which was kind of surprising.
DeleteLots of books on your list for me to check into, Barb! I'm always amazed at books that I've loved that have so few ratings.
ReplyDeleteI know. Unless you read strictly the hyped books, I think that might happen. Sometimes I think Goodreads is so strongly geared toward YA, which is fine and I like YA, but I think adult titles can get lost.
DeleteI didn't do this TTT. I am so surprised that there are such low reviews for those books. You are right about people missing out on so many great books. There are books that I absolutely love, and no one has heard of them.
ReplyDeleteThat's the wonder of reading and blogging. We get to share all of these hidden gems.
DeleteI'm really surprised Mormama has that few of ratings... when it was released I saw it everywhere!
ReplyDeleteYea I remember seeing it around a lot too. Must just have been with us bloggers that visit the same people :)
Deletehahaha That's possible.
DeleteI need to try the Dog Day series as I know you really like it. I am surprised actually to see Creature on here because it seemed like ever one I know has read it even if I wasn't a fan.
ReplyDeleteYea, I was surprised when I saw how low it was too. I do think you'd like the Dog Day series and remember I have the third one on my Kindle you can borrow.
DeleteTo Catch a Treat looks like such a cute read.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
The whole series is adorable.
DeleteI really like the sound of Dread and Breakfast. It looks like it could be a really good read on a cold night.
ReplyDeleteIt would be and yes, you need to read it. I've read quite a bit of Stuart's work and it's gotta be my favorite.
DeleteRattus New Yorkus is high on my To Read list. But it is surprising it has so few ratings Goodreads. Hunter Shea seems like such a popular author.
ReplyDeleteHe is but he's still an indie author so I think he had a huge fan base, but his stuff isn't seen elsewhere.
DeleteSorry - struggling to leave a comment so if 3 appear then apologies!
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I don't think I saw more than this one :)
DeleteNight Shift looks like something I'd like. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you would.
DeleteWow, everything under 500 ratings!
ReplyDeleteSurprising huh?
DeleteAtomic Frenchie is still one of my favorite covers. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteIt's an awesome book.
