I have plenty of sources when it comes to upcoming books, but most of what is pitched to me doesn't interest me, so I don't even think most of the time mentioning any of these works.
Sadly, there don't seem to be many (any?) others who seem ready to talk about new/upcoming works in any literary genre.

Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template
