I love that you shared this list! Thank you! I can’t wait to fall into a rabbit hole with these. I recently found MeetNewBooks.com p, which suggests books based on what you have enjoyed. More lists! Haha

I’m bookmarking that now! I love a site that gives me book recs, it’s so fun to see if I’ll get a book I’ve never heard of that could end up being perfect

That’s a lovely list of people and community who enjoy books! I usual use Instagram and then I’ll go to Goodreads to take a look at the ratings and the synopsis of the book to see whether I like or not. I can add it straight into my TBR on Goodreads♥️📖

Lots of places to find books:) No I couldn’t find anything about a work in progress for her, her last book was in 2015 and that one actually sounds really good— The Children’s Crusade

I just bought a copy of Oh Reader the other day at Barnes and Noble! I hadn't heard of that magazine before. Will check out The Literary Lifestyle, thanks!

Thank you so much! I buy in my friends bookshop if it’s an author I love. I have started using the local library more because new release are topping over €20 in Ireland

Mostly i stick to word of mouth through podcasts, book groups on FB, The Book Girls Guide, Carnegie Library, and most of all……YOU!!! There is a publication that my son would forward to me when he worked at Harper called helf something. I cannot recall the title of that publication but it was released every week. It had the best book news. I’d loved it and got several book recommendations from it. Occasionally, it appears in my newsfeed on Facebook and when I find it again I will post it. S

What a great list! I thought of Powell's Books in Portland, OR. I love browsing there when visiting my son, and their website has good staff picks too. I have added the Elliott Bay Book Company to my favorites' list...thanks Renee!
