With so many books being published every day, how do you find a book you want to read?

I usually go through recommendations on Goodreads, and I keep track of what books my favourite authors are publishing.

    I find I get the best new book ideas from people rather than lists or goodreads or more generic recommendations. Things like talking about books (online or in person), reading book discussions, following authors I like on social media (for updates on new books and also because often if I like an authors books I’ll like the books/authors they talk about) and following reviewers whose taste that meshes with mine (there are tons of people reviewing books online for any niche you can think of, for example I’ve been following this blog that reviews 50s-80s SFF for a decade+ and gotten so many reads from him).
