Reviews are very useful. I found many, many books like that. Sure I have 20 or so authors I buy on publication and some 10-20 others I consider, but how do you find new authors. I would be very interested in a review section but for books in general, not particularly e-books. I post lots of reviews on another forum sffworld (mostly sff, but mainstream, historical too) since I am not yet decided to start a review blog and I would be happy to crosspost here.
This year for example I have read (both e and print) about 26 new novels for me (mostly new releases 07/08), started several others that I intend to finish, and also I've read lots of short stories - the distribution of the novels is 10 hist/mainstream, 9 fantasy, 7 sf.
Several recent books that I've read due to reviews are The Monsters of Templeton by L. Groff, The Meaning of Night by M. Cox, Fingersmith by S. Waters, Discipline by P. Ahlgren, Red Wolf Conspiracy by R. Redick, The Somnambulist by J. Barnes (the sequel Domino Men is in the mail from the UK just released), Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by G. Dahlquist of which I have posted reviews...
