So last week I posted the next post in my Bookstagram Chooses My Next 4 Reads post. Now that I have 6 posts with this theme, I decided to take a look back at these picks. I’ve read more than I actually expected (part 2 is the only installment that doesn’t have any books read so far). I also wont’ be discussing part 6, because I just posted that last week.

I won’t be reviewing the books, but this TBR update is to see how successful these posts are. I want to see if I end up actually liking what’s picked for me. I already talked about them in the monthly wrap ups, so I’ll link those to the titles read. So we’re going to take a bit of a look at my average ratings, so keep on reading to find out more!

Part 1
Average Rating: 4.3

So I’ve read 3 out of the 4 books Bookstagram chose for me the first time around. All of them were at least books I had heard of, so I was excited to read them.

The Coven – Harper L. Woods (5 stars)
Read April 2023

If He Had Been with Me – Laura Nowlin (4 stars)
Read August 2023

Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers – Jesse Q. Sutanto (4 stars)
Read April 2023

 

Part 3
Average Rating: 5.0

If we take a look at part 3, I’ve read 2 out of of the 4 books! The other two are still high on my TBR.

Love, Theoretically – Ali Hazelwood (5 stars)
Read July 2023

The Love Wager – Lynn Painter (5 stars)
Read February 2024

 

Part 4
Average Rating: 4.0

Just like part 3, I’ve read 2 out the 4 books chosen for me in the fourth part of this series.

Betting On You – Lynn Painter (4 stars)
Read January 2024

Once More with Feeling -Elissa Sussman (4 stars)
Read September 2023

 

Part 5
Average Rating: 4.25

This was the most surprising of them all. I’ve managed to read all 4 books on the TBR in the fifth part of this series. I guess this makes up for me not reading any of the books from part 2, haha.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe -Laurie Gilmore (3 stars)
Read October 2023

The Way I Used to Be -Amber Smith (5 stars)
Read October 2023

Enchanted to Meet You -Meg Cabot (4 stars)
Read October 2023

Divine Rivals – Rebecca Ross (5 stars)
Read October 2023

 

Average Rating: 4.4

I have to say this series of posts has been successful so far! My lowest rating have been 3 stars. That definitely motivates me to do more of them!

 

So that’s the first update of my bookstagram chooses my next 4 reads series. I’ll definitely be continuing with these posts. Have you ever randomly chosen your TBR? Did it work out? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
