In addition, Amazon.
Amazon certainly is one that I consult, along with The New Yorker. Also read blogs like Conversational Reading and Three Percent, which cover translated fictions better than any other site I've come across.
All have good to relatively good book reviews as well for history/non-fiction. So does Spiegel.
To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books?

If you want to attract NEW readers, the site needs to be reworked from scratch

Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template

Forgive me my sins but most of my reading for the last year has been comics.
