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 go by word of mouth, then browse the bookseller at sf conventions, because it's not as spread out as the big bookstore and has a wider variety than the local bookstore. New books are always at least 6 months old before I see them at the local library.

Word of mouth seems to be the big approach, which is why it's good to have a bunch of friends here on LJ and Facebook and such. *grin*
