@literature how do you find new books to read? For me, it’s YouTube channels, blogs like lovely Audiobooks, the Libro FM blog and the Audible blog. I listen to audiobooks
I previously used to browse some subreddits and ask for reccs, but that plan is in a liminal phase at that moment.
Same here. We’ll, the part about subreddits at least. We ought to be able to as for recommendations here in this community though, no?
@astromd Are there any other book communities in KBin or Lemmy that I can subscribe to? I can subscribe with this account even though it’s a Hometown account
There’s https://beehaw.org/c/literature and there’s a couple on Lemmy.ml, but federation isn’t working well right now and I don’t want to be in that instance.
I recently started looking up awards winner lists on Wikipedia. I’ve found some great sci-fi on the list of Philip K Dick and Hugo award winners.
@bnotwen I will try that next! I typically am not eager to read award winners but that is a great resource
Every year there is a book published with the Hugo award winners and other awards. Obviously, this is the short story categories. But I found it a great way to find interesting stories and authors I should branch out towards.
Newest releases on pirate site of my choice.
Modern Mrs Darcy, my RSS list of book blogs, Book Riot, Lit Hub, Electric Lit, Arts & Letters Daily, Goodreads, StoryGraph. I was getting recs from a handful of subreddits, for genre fiction too. I read physical and ebooks. Edit to add: I also have a few authors I autobuy/read their newsletters so I can get their newest book whenever it comes out.
Libro.fm, Powells blog, LibraryThing (which has both user and automatic recommendations, and user-generated lists that are good for titles in specific genres or specific topics or all the winners of a particular award), New York Times book reviews, the Guardian book reviews, Tor.com, book sites that I happen on when searching for book reviews of titles I’m interested in. I just added a few books to my TBR from a Metafiction list on LibraryThing.
