I have a giant mixture of how I discover new books, but my biggest thing is mainly browsing local library website and their weekly lists of new releases as well as different book review aggregator sites

It's most from recommendations. From a friend, or online (previously reddit, now lemmy). Historically, my way to choose a book, is if I like something from a author, just start going through their full bibliography. So, a single recommendation of a new author can last me a long time.

These days, I am getting recommendations from our weekly "What are you reading" threads over at !books@lemmy.world. So many books are mentioned each week, my books wishlist has already grown quite a lot from it.
