Q&A: How do I rate each review? Part 2

Part 1 is HERE

I did CAWPILE for awhile back in 2023 and stopped.  I am going to get back to it with my next review.

Information about this system is: CAWPILE system. CAWPILE was invented by G at Book Roast. G has a video on YouTube. Her video is Awesome. I recommend checking that video out.

Right below you see ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s at the end of my review, you will see my CAWFILE rating.

I am going to add what the link from the Book Riot site says about CAWPILE. I do not want to mess this up. This is not in my own words (all in ""). Go to the site about and her video for more details.

"CAWPILE is a rating system, an acronym for seven key tenets a reader can use to generate specific, targeted reviews in a consistent way. The letters stand for:


To fulfill the system, each parameter should be rated out of 10. Once this is done, the overall result should be divided by seven, which produces a sometimes decimal-pointed answer between 1 and 10.


This 1-10 scale is arguably too specific to be broadly adopted, so instead, we convert the number back into a 5-star rating as follows:

If the book score is:

0-1.1, there is no score.

If it scored 1.1-2.2, that’s one star.

2.3-4.5 is two stars.

4.6-6.9 is three stars.

7-8.9 is four stars.

9-10 is five stars.


Go to the Youtube video to download a copy to your Google sheets. G at Book Roast added so much more to the version I downloaded. It is 2025 v4.


I'm looking forward to using the CAWPILE. Again.

How do you review the books you read?

Happy Reading! Melissa
