As a librarian who is frequently asked for book recommendations, I would imagine producing a curated list of new books to satisfy an enormous diversity of tastes could be nigh on impossible. If you include self-published ebooks, make that just plain impossible. If you include back catalogues of older works, who in their right mind would undertake such a task? We have a reference book: "Who Else Writes Like..." which was swiftly abandoned by its creators after a few editions because it was just not feasible to keep it up-to-date.
Trial and error is the only way to find new authors.
