Survey - How do you decide on a book to read?

[Avani]

Hi guys! I am a bookworm just like everybody here and I am currently writing my dissertation for Book Publishing Studies. I have created a survey that will help accumulate some data that will be extremely helpful for my research. It will only take a minute or a couple at the most to complete the survey. I will be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes of your time.
Thank you! Here's the link -

I don't have social media unless you count GoodReads.

[Anniston]

I usually just ask my mom or browse the library. I sometimes look up things similar to my most favorite books. I may put in "Books like Harry Potter" or "Greatest Young Adult Dystopian Fantasy Books". It usually takes me a long time to get into a series, but if I really like it, then I fly through it. Hopefully, you'll meet "The One" (Or series)

[Adham]

ask for recommendations or look for books whose cover and titles seems interesting and catch my attention ask my parents or friends for new books to read

[Maria]

I usually browse a shop or get recommendations on goodreads. Sometimes I go to youtube and fing a list (for example, Top 10 Fantasy Novels).

[Lucy]

My Mum usually finds them for me. 😅 Or I kind of get dragged into the craze eg. Harry Potter. But I sometimes find them on the national book awards or on my goodreads recommendations.

I check my recommendations on good reads or I just grab a book from my library and check the blurb :D

I may get hated on for this but I am a re-reader XD But if I'm not up for a re-read then I'm pushing myself to try new things. (I started The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway - I got so close to the end, gotta pick it up again one day!) OR I check reco's on Goodreads or head to the library.

[Kacie]

I ask my Aunt (librarian) and sister for book suggestions, scroll through goodreads, and just read anything that looks interesting

[Helena]

I just answered!

[Delphine]

I honestly just look around the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section of a bookstore.

[Q for questions]

Normally I just look around the realistic section or ask my sister for book suggestions. I also sometimes read my friend's books that she's reading and want to read the book myself.

[Reed]

I choose from the books📚 I have at NY dads👨🏻and moms👩🏼 even if it's a hard choice to do on your own

[heidi]

Through recommendations on tik tok and reading the backs of covers in the store :))

[Atira]

I follow bookstagram accounts and mostly just take recommendations from there!
