Social media (goodreads/tiktok/reddit)? Colleagues? Friends? Browsing the library/bookstore? Asking for recommendations from staff at libraries/bookstores?
BONUS: if you can remember, how did you find books you really enjoyed?
I realized a lot of my favorite book recs came from reddit. I was a subscriber of r/books and picked up some really good books there. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is an example.
Harry Potter was on my brother’s shelf. I read it because he liked it, and he hated reading. I love(d) reading, and I figured if he liked it it must be good. And an obsession was born, lol.
But I also typically just browse until a synopsis hooks me. I’m very guilty of judging books by their cover, too, so I often won’t even pick up a book if I don’t like the cover/title.
