Some in that list do not look too promising indeed and I will wait for the review to see if the book is a hidden gem, reviewers being warned that I could choose not to publish their review…

I suggest you screen the books before assigning reviews. The occasional negative review of a bad book can be enlightening, but overall I think it’s a mistake to review tons of mediocre books! To put it another way, you should not let your book-reviewing decisions be made by the publishers who happen to send you books in the mail.
