Guest Blogging Again: How do you find new books?

[jpskewedthrone]

My monthly blog at APEX is up today. This month I'm talking about the fact that I can't go to the bookstore and simply browse for new books and authors like I used to . . . and the fact that it's put a crimp in my book buying style. I like to support new authors, but since I can't find them on the shelf as easily anymore, I know I'm missing out on a bunch of them out there, since the only way I hear about them anymore is word of mouth. So I pose the question: How do you find new books? You can answer here or over at the APEX blog.

Word of mouth..err, twiiter, Facebook, blogs when I don't see them on the shelf/can't get to the bookstore.

THen I'll look them up online and see if I might be interested.

Ah, so a double-step process before you decide. That's usefull, and shows that webpages by authors is a must today.

Pretty much. And sometimes, an author's page will show me other books by them that i might find more interesting than the original book I was looking at.}:P
