Where do you go for book recommendations?

[Allsortsmakesnormal]

Like all on here, I love books and I love reading! Aside from that I really enjoy browsing for book recommendations and adding them to Goodreads - I've got well over a thousand, which realistically I'm never going be able to achieve reading in my lifetime. Despite this I'm looking for other places to find good book recommendations - I closely follow all the threads on here and I check out the Goodread blogs but don't find them very inspiring. I've researched all the books discussed on past episodes of Between the Covers and I regularly check Waterstones website to see if there's anything I'm missing.

Any other ideas of where I could look?

I don't get much time to read so I go straight to the Booker Prize shortlists usually.

Youtube! It's not all teenages

Who next? You should be able to access it via a library account.
I sometimes search for books I like on amazon and see what it offers me, but it's very hit and miss.

I look in magazines such as Good Housekeeping/Womans home. They always have a book section with recommendations.

Radio programmes and podcasts, especially A Good Read on radio 4 and the Backlisted podcast.
The websites of publishers I like such as Persephone.
There's a podcast called You're Booked where they interview famous people about the books they love and that threw up loads of interesting reads for me when Lissa Evans was on.

I look at kindle daily deals
I browse at Waterstones
I get the BookBub daily newsletter with recommendations that are on offer - I'm crime and literary fiction. The Broken Field was a book I bought from there which I'd never have found by myself and I adored it. Also, my first Mary Lawson book was from BookBub (the other side of the bridge) and loved that too.
Sometimes I get inspired from the Amazon recommendations of a book/author that I've bought or browsed

I read book reviews. Real ones. By book critics, not by strangers online. Luckily, the New York Times has a weekly section devoted to just that.

Fantastic Fiction is a great source of information you can look for other books by authors who you have enjoyed and it recommends similar authors.

Bookbub - sends you daily emails.

This. Ditto the Irish Times, Dublin Review of Books, LRB, Guardian etc. I follow small presses on Instagram. Plus I will generally know if an author who interests me has a new book coming out.
