When I go to the actual physical bookstore I see lots of new books that I'd like to read but when I look at the new release site on Amazon I don't find much.

Is there any site that gives a brief synopsis of new books or soon to be released books? I don't really want a long review.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@boomerang,
This might be of help. It isn't just new books though and the reviews are by readers not paid critics.

I was hoping there was something that didn't require clicking through a million pages.

I get the weekly Buzzfeed recommendations, like this one: http://www.buzzfeed.com/rsultan/5-great-books-to-read-in-october

I was hoping for something more like that, but with more selections.

@boomerang,
The "New York Review of Books is excellent. You can subscribe to the print edition and then, you'll be able to also read about various new book online.

Another excellent source is of course, the Book Review section of the Sunday, New York Times.
