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". Episodes appear in multiple categories so broad categories like "Science" also exist

It's definitely biased towards academia which I personally see as a pro not a con
If the data is present in one of the extractors, yes, but I think only Amazon and similar stores keep this kind of data right now. We don't have a extractor for Amazon yet.
After v1.0.0 is out I plan to add the ability to add books manually to the database, at which point we'll be able to start improving the database without relying on third-party services.
You can get an RSS feed from https://bookfeed.io with authors you want to track. Been using it for years at this point :-)
