Where/how do you find your books to read?

Like do you just browse the library or store? Do you follow a blog or book influencer (I'm just assuming such a thing exists...) or something else?

I follow a few subreddits where people ask for specific suggestions and I'll make note of ones that sound interesting, but otherwise I just kind of browse my library in hopes that something jumps out at me.

I look for reviews. Book Riot is good for finding a wide variety of things and for finding more progressive, inclusive genre things.

I also buy new things from authors I already know I like.

Sometimes when I'm browsing something like tvtropes and I see something listed on a trope that is a favorite of mine, I'll buy it to check it out.

And then sometimes I just love to browse Half Priced Books and find some stuff that looks fun.

I use two subreddit. /r/suggestmeabook and /r/horrorlit. Especially love horrorlit (since that is mostly what I read).

Recommendations, people talking about books online, awards nominations. I will also sometimes just go through the New Books posts on Locus and then anything that interests me I'll search on Goodreads and bookmark it there to read.

Recs, either online or from friends. I'm a slow reader (hello, short concertration span) so the to-read bookcase gets ever fuller.

There are a couple subreddits if I'm a specific mood (suggestmeabook where I will just search for keywords to find past recs, I never post myself...same with mm_romancebooks, where I will just search for specific tropes of whatever I'm in the mood for at that time). I don't go on them super often, though, maybe once every 1-2 months.

Usually I find new stuff through GoodReads. The new releases tab through my account lists new books by authors I've read previously, plus new things in genres I've selected that I like. There's also the most popular and most read by date lists that I check occasionally, and I will check the news and interviews page, which has all kinds of lists (new stuff by specific genre, or books based around a certain theme, or an interview with an author where they will talk about their newest book, and books that they like/that inspired them).

But honestly, new books that I find through these sites ending up just being added to my never ending list of books that I want to read and/or will get eventually. I already have so many that I haven't read that I really don't need to actually look for new recs for years.

Some recs, but mostly I just browse the library catalogue online.
