Where do you read books reviews? (self.books)

When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it's good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don't trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?

That's a good question. In the past I've used r/books and seen what people recommend, though I'm now trying to avoid Reddit where possible. I think Goodreads can be a valid resource, but instead of relying on the overall review score you could find particular reviewers that give well thought out reviews and follow them.

That said, why not post something here to get the fediverse's opinion on a particular book?
