Components of highest-rated reads statistically relevant

In the yearly wrap-up the “Components of your highest-rated reads” gives the average of all ratings in the different categories without taking the number of books into account. So if I read 100 fantasy books but only 1 romance book then that single book will weigh in more in the suggestions. Maybe the median or som percentiles could be more effective?

This is intentional! We want to increase the chances of people seeing different information that you'd see from your typically most read moods, genres, etc.

The hope is that you see Romance and think: "Oh yeah, I read that one romance that was 5 stars. Perhaps I should look for more this year!"

This is not to say that we won't ever change how that segment is calculated, but that's the current reasoning.
