How do ppl find the latest new books to read? Youtube reviews? Newspapers? Waterstones? I always seem to be last at the party.
Right here!!!
But elaneanor has been out ages and I’m only just starting to it here… same with Ove that was out ages before I found it here…
Pinterest
Right here,had best recommendations on here.
Goodreads and youtube
Where on YouTube pls?
Search bookhauls and book review then you will find youtubers
Facebook recommendations, Goodreads, Waterstone’s, books on List Challenges lists which look interesting…
If you are reading on a Kindle, I use BookBud, Goodreads, Bargain EBook Reader to get new books to read. I also get newsletters from some of my favorite authors.
I never get anything I’m interested in on goodreads – is there like a top 10 best sellers of the week list?
If you register on Waterstones web site you get monthly newsletter telling about new releases and book of month etc. Not that I’m promoting Waterstones, but site is good for book info.
Also make a wish list on Amazon if books you hear about and then your home page will have recommendations.
This page is also excellent for book info.
Charity shops are good for browsing and just picking up something that you like the look of.
Hope this helps. ??
@Linda is Waterstones a UK store?
@Felicia hi there, yes it is. Nationwide in U.K. But you should be able to sign up to website for newsletter. ?

I never get anything I’m interested in on goodreads – is there like a top 10 best sellers of the week list?
There is a top of the most read book of the week, also new releases of the month. But I also get recommendations on similar books that I’ve already read.
I use YouTube, Instagram or bookstagram as bookbloggers (such as myself) like to call it. As well as Facebook book groups, and book bloggers ?
How do you find book recommendations on Instagram?
@Linda Many of the bookstagrammers I follow take pictures of books they have read that they like or books that are about to come out. They usually let you know in the description what they thought about the book pictured. I bookstagram myself and let people know what books I’ve just read and such or I’ll ask for people’s opinions.
@Shay thanks I didn’t realise could do that on Instagram.
@Linda Yeah it’s pretty awesome and there are a lot of beautiful pictures they get really creative with how they incorporate books. It’s also a great place to find bookmarks of your favorite book characters! ?
@Shay what would I search for to start following?
@Linda You can search bookstagram, booknerds, bookish. Stuff like that here’s one of my pictures
@Shay brilliant thank you! I will have a look ??
@Linda No problem ?
My sister, friends and goodreads 😉
Magazines. Word of mouth. My library. And honestly, I’m a tumblr user and books will show up on my dashboard sometimes that I HAVE to read. That’s how I discovered A Darker Shade of Magic and The Incarnate Trilogy! Goodreads is also great because you can search for books using a wide number of parameters (books written by anyone under 30, books about magic, funny books, etc.)!
Wait – there’s a search parameter bit on goodreads?
Well.. yes. I google certain things and goodreads always comes up with a list! Not necessarily all-inclusive but it’s a great jumping off point!
But elaneanor has been out ages and I’m only just starting to it here… same with Ove that was out ages before I found it here…
Girl on a train was a film and I know just got to it haha
Facebook book club, Goodreads and Emails from different sites!
Goodreads
Book clubs (like this one)
Perusing book stores
I go on Amazon, and search for kindle books released in the last 30 days, after narrowing my search by type (to science fiction)…then I narrow the search by ordering it by the number of stars on review
Get 99% of my books from Amazon. Get a lot of good free ones too.

@Rachael I read Eleanor in one day I loved it ! I usually go for Waterstones recommendations or whatever people on here are talking about
Buzzfeed. Goodreads. Word of mouth. Amazon.
Here. Amazon.
What’s IMHO?
Browse new releases
I take notes from all the end of year ‘best of’ lists. In the US I mostly use the New York Times and NPR
Plus NPR podcast Fresh Air-great author interviews
Aha ! (Googled it)
Goodreads
The Waterstones newsletter is really good.
I’ll add this – I just want to be more current.
I use Goodreads a lot.
The Book Club
Fantastic fiction
Is this a website?
Buzzfeed has s books newsletter and I just talk to my reader friends
Find a book you loved on Amazon, then scroll down to see what other people who liked the same book also bought.
You can also look on Goodreads. I get great ideas from friends!
This I have done. O think I just want to be more current – more trend setting than following – I’m always last to find out about great books.
@Rachael I check the New York Times best seller list too
Book hippo, you can get newsletters as often as you like to your email inbox, and can choose the genres you like. Some are free, or I think the most expensive is £2.99. They have quite a few ‘British’ books, which I personally prefer. I tend to get at least one book a day.
twitter and fellow bloggers xxx

@Rachael, have you tried “Echoes from the Oasis”… It’s getting great reviews… http://www.seychelleshistoricalnovels.com/
No I haven’t heard if it.
London review of books
My library has a section of the New York Bestsellers and new books.. Plus I browse Amazon’s highest selling list.
Can you recommend any reviewers?
@Rachael well I don’t actually watch reviews. I don’t watch or reads reviews before reading the book. But I watch hauls as it shows what others are buying and most YouTube’s give a little synopsis while talking about the books. I also was monthly wrap ups a lot as they show what others have read and they usually say whether they enjoyed it or not.
I like Little Book Owl, Hailey in Bookland & Books with Emily Fox most.
Ppl do book hauls videos – excellent I never knew!!!
Here!
