I was considering going up to four or five times for Ursula but really she has a Hugo already. :P
They're more or less based on the ones I put on my goodreads account, although I was being more generous than I am on Goodreads, because I was mostly taking notes for myself for nominating, but basically: five is would nominate for a Hugo probably; four is either good but not great, or great but with a few issues that bother me; three is workmanlike and acceptable or good but with some major issues; two is would happily read if backpacking and found it in the rafters of a trail shelter on a rainy day; one is threw the book at the wall.
Probably some of my ratings on there should drop by a star under that standard but I tend to feel more generous when the person is only getting magazine rates and therefore definitely doing it mostly for love.
(I ended up nominating a mix of fives and fours because I didn't have enough fives.)
