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.

I don't; usually they find me. If they really want me to read them they end up in my hands somehow, whether as hand-offs or freebies. Once in a while I'll actually spend money on something whose description or rave or cover design stuck in my head. Not sure how this will work in the Kindle Era.

Yeah, that's the problem: how will all of this book-finding happen in the ebook era? Not sure.
