How do you make sure you don’t miss out on books from favourite authors?

[Booklovver]

Obviously, you won’t miss that Dan Brown has written a new book, but how do you follow your favourite authors and make sure you don’t miss their new book if they are lesser known than the big author?

There's a website called Fantastic fiction. You can follow authors on there and get emails when a new book is announced. I think Amazon offer a similar function if you "follow" authors.

If you are a Kindle reader, you can follow them on Amazon.

It makes an author's day to get a follow, even though they are anonymous!

I follow them on Instagram. Same with actors and TV shows I'm interested in.

i didn’t know you could follow on Amazon, but I have just followed a few now so thank you. I don’t really use instagram or facebook, maybe I should.

Social media. Goodreads.

I follow on Amazon. Also I check on Goodreads for new releases by authors I’ve read - anything I fancy. Add to my Amazon wish list so I can get when it’s released. I can only find this on Goodreads on the web version not the app.

Ypu are most welcome, when they release anew book you should get advance warning!

I know!

Just follow the authors you wish to read and the weekly email summarises upcoming releases as well as a short recap of those from recent months.

For my current favourite actively producing author, I'm a member of several fan groups on facebook, so people excitedly remind each other.

If I like an author I follow them on goodreads. I track every book I read on there anyway as I like hitting a yearly goal (46 out of 52 read for this year so far) so it's not much extra effort to hit the follow button.

It also lets you add books to a "want to read" wish list so I don't forget about random recommendations or books I stumbled over and liked the look of but I was too busy at the time to start.

I also added some friends on there who have similar taste to me and it shows me what they are reading which helps me find out about stuff I may have forgotten to follow (or just for finding new stuff).

I do exactly the same @DoAWheelie I love Goodreads

Best I get more active on Goodreads!

Facebook groups, following authors in social media, emails from book shops. My local independent bookshop often does events with authors I favour so they tend to email about their events. Going to events often means other authors are there so I hear about their upcoming releases too.

Goodreads rocks! In a quiet, gentle bookish sort of way...
