Interactive chat sessions about your literary interests with a good LLM will produce much better book suggestions than reading book reviews in newspapers. It's not even close, because unless your interests are as simple as "whatever book publishers want to sell this week", the newspaper book reviewer just happening to cover a book up your alley is about as common as a planetary alignment.

I asked ChatGPT for 20th century space operas with literary merit or lasting recognition. It suggested Nova by Samuel Delany. Great book. How many newspaper book reviews would I have to read before I got suggestions for books in that category? I'd probably die waiting.
