I understand exactly why you feel this way, I’m the same a lot of the time. What helps me is looking into the author’s previous releases. How much time is between them? a year or 3+ years? How many books are planned for the series? If a trilogy is planned and two books are out and there’s a strong chance I’m going to start the series if there’s only a year between releases. And then you can also spread them out a little bit if you want to because you know when the next book is coming.
