Two resources I enjoy are Booklist Magazine and BookPage.
Booklist is a magazine geared to librarians from the American Library Association. It releases 22 issues a year with tons of reviews for upcoming books. Each issue also has a special focus, like historical novels, nonfiction, mysteries or science fiction. It reviews books for adults as well as children and teens. I first found the magazine at the local university library and I fell in love with it. I worked my schedule to go every couple weeks to read the latest issue. I also signed up for their online site. There is some content that is free and other content available only by subscription. I was offered a deal on a print subscription last year and I jumped on it (thanks for the birthday gift, Dad!).
BookPage is a similar concept in a smaller form. BookPage is printed on newsprint rather than glossy magazine paper. It comes out every month and includes reviews of a few books in various genres, interviews with authors, etc. I get my copy free from my local library - if I can get there before the copies are all gone! I have also seen it in some bookstores where the retailer has its own front page with store events, etc. and then the regular monthly content inside. You can also subscribe for $30. They have a free online component you can sign up for at their website.
