Social media (goodreads/tiktok/reddit)? Colleagues? Friends? Browsing the library/bookstore? Asking for recommendations from staff at libraries/bookstores?
BONUS: if you can remember, how did you find books you really enjoyed?
I realized a lot of my favorite book recs came from reddit. I was a subscriber of r/books and picked up some really good books there. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is an example.
Usually advice from people that know me or similar books suggestions through online forums. When I try and pick award winning novels, even for genres I usually like, I usually end up disappointed.
