How do you find books you want to read? (sopuli.xyz)

With so many books being published every day, how do you find a book you want to read?

I usually go through recommendations on Goodreads, and I keep track of what books my favourite authors are publishing.

I might have the opposite problem lol. Too much I want to read and too little time. I always wanna read them all.

To narrow it down, I search in my library/libby app and then pick the one currently available.

I'll second the Libby app but more directly...

I look at the new books available then filter by the genre I'd like to read. Many duds but I've also run across many duds being recommended online (like reddit). Feels a bit like eating out pre-internet where you'd try a restaurant and hope for the best.
