With so many books being published every day, how do you find a book you want to read?
I usually go through recommendations on Goodreads, and I keep track of what books my favourite authors are publishing.

Sometimes a friend shelves a book on GoodReads or Bookwyrm (the fediverse book tool/communities) which catches my eye. There’s a SF/F bookclub podcast I listen to, and I learn about new authors and books that way (The Sword and Laser http://swordandlaser.com/). Then, I also get leads from talking about books with friends or co-workers. And, listening to other podcasts and talk radio programs, I get leads on books with different topics. For example, the NPR show Science Friday reviews books and interviews authors from time to time (and they also have a book club: https://www.sciencefriday.com/scifri-book-club/ ). The BBC Radio show The Food Programme does the same, and also does seasonal episodes on new cookboods/food books that are coming out ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnx3 ).
