I try to take recommendations from multiple places:
Friends and family
Goodreads
Social media/online personalities I enjoy
Algorithm recommendations (other people who bought that book also bought...)
And my personal favorite: wandering around in a bookstore until a title or cover catches my eye
This way I get recommendations with some context (this book is similar to another book I liked, or, Mary has good taste in fantasy books and highly recommends this one) and also some room for serendipity to find something I might not normally read.
I love window shopping at barnes and noble, especially taking pictures of books to later get at the library
