Are you able to pull upcoming titles? All I want is a weekly/monthly list of books by authors I've ready which are coming out, and I've not been able to find it or to build it.

A couple years I looked for a similar service and failed to find it. I did however find this incredible podcast network called New Books In where they interview authors about their new books. It's a massive network that's broken down by categories that can get pretty niche. Everything from "Digital Humanities" to "Diplomatic History" to "Critical Theory".
