I check my Goodreads ratings. I know I shouldn't. My husband begs me not to but there I am, a lot, reading what people say about my work. It doesn't seem to matter how many 5 and 4 stars I get on a book, even one person rating one of works below a 3 star is enough to make me momentarily doubt everything I'm doing.
And then I shake it off and keep going. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and I don't like everything I read, even things other people love. That's the thing about reading. It really is a subjective activity.
Do you check your Goodreads ratings? Do they affect you?
