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.

Ask me - I'm the librarian!

[(Anonymous)]

I am not only a librarian but I am also a rabid scifi and fantasy reader and I make my library buy as much as I can get them to. I bookmark author pages (like this one - lol), publisher pages, librarian blogs and book review sites and check them often. I read Publishers Weekly and all the other library magazines and scifi/fantasy magazines that have reviews of upcoming stuff. I am a member of Goodreads too. So just ask me already or if you can't get to me, wander around the library and ask if anyone who works there reads scifi. We live to talk books and they even pay us to do that so ask me - please! If your library doesn't have a scifi geek email me at infospider1957@yahoo.com and we'll chat.
