lol, more than I can keep up with right here!!,lol Wonderful recommendations with a personal touch way better than book jackets or reviews. These are real people not trying to sell the book. I love the honesty and passion shared here.
Mostly from other books. Not even kidding – I’ve read a lot of non-fiction that refers to other non-fiction and I usually get lost down the chain. Otherwise I am a part of a very active F&SF community that writes, so you have published books of your friends riiight there and the same people also read, like, a lot – it’s an industrial espionage for us. So we kinda’ share reading tips by osmosis. Then we all of course follow major publishing houses, so we know what’s gonna be published a lot – and yet another community for me are international translators’ groups of all kind that sometimes also share tips when their work is going into print. The rest comes from all kinds of social media, including this group. Now, if only I had the time to read as much as my To Read list requires…
Instead of “Where do you find your books recommendations from?” You said “From where” which I believe is proper English not how we from the US tend to speak. It’s a beautiful thing to see! Also what she said ^^
@Jessica of course and well put from you. I remember from school, “never end a sentence with a preposition”. We Australians also are pretty careless with sentence structure, so it’s good to see a speaker of English as a second language using good syntax.
Everywhere and anywhere. Someone reads a book I liked and then says they like another one then I read the other one and liked it too. I realize we have similar tastes and if he/she posts another one I make a note. TBR pile is enormous!
My book club gives a wide variety of suggestions, but I like to sprinkle in some award contenders (like Man-Booker, Pulitzer, Pen, etc.) . Like to mix it up a bit!
Library Journal (I am a librarian and this journal tells me about upcoming publications and gives good reviews too), the Seattle Times and Book Page (free at my public library)
I get Ann Padgett’s email from her Parnassus Book Store in Nashville. I like to check out what the store’s book club picks are and also like reading what her employees recommend.

I came here to tell you that your sentence structure is beautiful!
Are you being sarcastic….im really sorry if I made any mistake….you see English is my second language
??
What? No. I’m being serious. It’s great!
@Hussain no she’s not being sarcastic. It is indeed a lovely sentence. ?
Thank you, Elaine!! I don’t even speak English this well.
Really!!! Thank you so much @Jessica and @Elaine…. but what is so good about it????
The meaning is clear and it is elegantly expressed.
Instead of “Where do you find your books recommendations from?” You said “From where” which I believe is proper English not how we from the US tend to speak. It’s a beautiful thing to see! Also what she said ^^
Haha… hey thank you so much ??
You’re welcome!!
@Jessica of course and well put from you. I remember from school, “never end a sentence with a preposition”. We Australians also are pretty careless with sentence structure, so it’s good to see a speaker of English as a second language using good syntax.
I completely agree! Thank you, I’m only now trying to work on getting it up to par.

Friends, book reviews, new books by favorite writers
I wander the bookstores in my lunch break and pick up random books – based pin the cover or their blurb or their interesting title.
Mostly by looking around bookshops, also see things on amazon
Mostly from Librarything members
