What is new and already good

3 of these have cleared the ordinary bar of 50 ratings; 10 carry an early score from 20 to 49 ratings. The newest arrival is “The Unknown” by Riley Sager.

An early score uses the same formula as everything else, pulled harder toward the category mean until more readers vote. The chip on a row says how much of the number is the readers’ own. Method →
