How do you find your next book to read?

[Emily]

When I was young I would go into a bookstore and not know a single book on the shelfs and just pick whatever spoke most to me. Now I go into a bookstore and already know 80% and what the story+ending is thanks to book communities on tiktok and instagram. It's just not as fun

I have ca. 20 favorite authors like Nelson DeMille, Barbara Erskine, Douglas Kennedy, Linwood Barclay, Charlotte Link etc and wait for their new books to be released.

In-between I either reread my own 1.500+ books or I find the occasional new book at our public library, sometimes here on Goodreads.com.

I have folders on kindle and Google Books of books I've got that really appealed to me at the time (I subscribe to several newsletters that offer free books legally!). I decide what genre I'm in the mood for and scroll through those folders first. Sometimes it's a case of finally getting a new release I've been waiting for and that'll jump to the head of the queue. or it'll be a recommendation I've seen somewhere. I don't really have a system as such, it just depends on my mood!

I have a bunch of Kindle books as well as hard back & paper back books. I alternate them

[Sarah Lehman]

I like to do a series. That way I have a bunch of books waiting for me. I usually go with a series that comes highly recommended by a friend or family member

I have multiple books on my bookshelf I haven’t read, yet. I pick three or four I’m most interested in reading next, and ask my husband to pick one!
I have a hard time making decisions, and I love surprises. I might would suggest letting someone pick from a preselected list for you!

I often find books of interest in my favourite book store and add them to my imaginary list.
