I love watching five-star prediction videos on BookTube, partly because we’re often so wrong about what we’re going to like. I can pretty reliably predict which books I’ll give a four-star rating because that’s where the majority of my reading falls: they’re books I enjoyed but haven’t risen to the level of all-time favourites. Five stars is a trickier prospect, though—almost by definition, they need to surprise me. They’re the books that really knock my socks off, and it’s hard to see those coming.
So, today I’m placing my bets on the next book I’ll give five stars. I have five options, ordered from least to most likely. There are two factors here: the first is which book I’m actually going to read soon, and the second is my rating.
