Word of mouth. Twitter and Facebook mainly. When I hear other bloggers or authors discussing a book I usually add it to my pile if it sounds like my cup of tea. But, just from everyone talking about various books is how I normally find them.

Lately I’ve strictly added to my to-be-read list through book bloggers recommendations!

I also occasionally peruse the library’s suggestions for me based on what I’ve check out and reserved.

99% of my book choices come from friend recommendations. Every 1% in a while, I’ll try something based on a review or the cover, but it’s rare. I like to know that it was approved by someone I trust before I jump into a book.

I get most of my recs through blogs. I read the updates on Goodreads, but I don’t ever bother to check the recommendations. They’re usually books that I probably wouldn’t pick up (which makes me wonder if these ‘friends’ have actually LOOKED at the type of books that I read). Also, Twitter.

same here. I get curious when people talk about a book online.

One of the main ways I find new books is through blog reviews. I subscribe to quite a few book blogs and always find great recommendations that way. My “to-be-read” list is quite out of control, LOL!

Blog posts and meme’s like Waiting on Wednesday is my main source of new books.

I discovered Goodreads late, but I absolutely love it. I’m growing long lists of books I want to read. Hundreds now. It’s cheaper than buying them, though I add books mostly through blog recommendations.

I’ve been enjoying reading your blog, and I’ve nominated you on my blog for the Sunshine Award.
