When it comes to reading new releases, it can be difficult to find some such books without having to buy them. I'm just too hesitant to buy something so new. Every time I see new releases mentioned, I immediately guess it won't be at my library, and most often that is the case. When it is there, I often can't believe it, but am glad. I also look at the digital library. If the book is on the service, it most often will be on a wait for up to 6 months. Sadly the Zip Books program at my library is currently on hold, or I would use that to order a new release not already at the library.
Every year, this summer challenge has what is called "Ultimate Beach Reads" for each year. All of these are new releases and I'm already having trouble locating any of these without having to buy a copy. I'm trying to reduce the number of books bought and get rid of some I have already read and don't intend to read again. I haven't yet looked for some of them, whether at the library or on the digital reading sites, but I'm already getting the feeling the search is gong to be hard. I don't want to be negative, but that's' just how it usually is when out comes to new releases.
How soon do you read new releases? Do you wait to read them digitally or to see if your library has them, or rush out to buy them?

Hi hi! I am very hesitant to buy new releases because there is so much crap out there. I have KU, and a lot of new books are on it, which makes it totally worth the price for me. I also never feel bad about DNF when a book is from KU. I use the local library too, and I have patience for popular books. I think I’m 400th in line for Yesteryear, lol
I have a couple hundred books collected on my ereader. The only author who was an instabuy for me retired from writing. So, I'm not really interested in new releases anymore.
I only read new releases if they are available at the library or else wait a year to check to see if they have it. I see no point in reading new releases right away. Books are always going to be around and the more popular they are, the more likely they will be at the library or if not, get them on sale at a later time when interest had died down and they are no longer selling well so booksellers might just reduce the prices to get rid of them.
Have a lovely day.
Unless I'm ARC reading, or it's a buddy/book club read, I am very late to new books because my existing TBR is endless lol
