@literature how do you find new books to read? For me, it’s YouTube channels, blogs like lovely Audiobooks, the Libro FM blog and the Audible blog. I listen to audiobooks

    I previously used to browse some subreddits and ask for reccs, but that plan is in a liminal phase at that moment.

    Modern Mrs Darcy, my RSS list of book blogs, Book Riot, Lit Hub, Electric Lit, Arts & Letters Daily, Goodreads, StoryGraph. I was getting recs from a handful of subreddits, for genre fiction too. I read physical and ebooks. Edit to add: I also have a few authors I autobuy/read their newsletters so I can get their newest book whenever it comes out.

    I recently started looking up awards winner lists on Wikipedia. I’ve found some great sci-fi on the list of Philip K Dick and Hugo award winners.

      Every year there is a book published with the Hugo award winners and other awards. Obviously, this is the short story categories. But I found it a great way to find interesting stories and authors I should branch out towards.

    I look up books on some topic I’m interested at the moment (Nowadays I’m reading a lot about classical composers), or a genre or some author. I search for an audiobook on youtube (I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks there) or if there’s any pdf/similar format of the book I can download.

    Usually one book will just lead to another. If I have no idea, I just look up some best lists. “Best <science fiction, fantasy, thriller,etc.> books of <decade, all-time, new, etc.>”. I’ve found that most of these lists are at least somewhat vetted and gives me somewhere to start.
