Before I found reddit, I browsed shelves in bookstores and libraries. I read best books of the year articles. I paid attention to award winners.

Now I still do all that, but I also spend time on r/suggestmeabook, r/fantasy, r/printsf, r/historicalfiction.

Other people use r/romancebooks and r/horrorlit.

But every book is a bit of a gamble.

Libraries are great since a gamble is simply the time it takes to travel back and forth, thankfully for me I am within walking distance.

Thank you for the sub recommendations. Even searching for books I already like has yielded a ton of possibilities. Sometimes finding a book I want to read is more fun than actually reading it so I have a feeling I will lose some time on these subs.
