It'd be nice to start a thread that has a lot of info for people who are looking for reviews or recommendations.

For instance, https://sff180.com/ does a solid job, particularly with their youtube channel, of keeping me informed about books that are coming out. Where do you go for your info?

Someone at work mentioned Book of the Month the other day. It might be worth checking.

Personally, I have a list on my computer of recommendations and library holds. I use the library a lot which sometimes means longer waits between entries in a series like The Expanse.

My local library has lists of book suggestions which, TBH, have been hit or miss, but I've read some interesting books because of it. Otherwise it's mostly word-of-mouth from friends or threads like these.
