How do you discover new books? Do friends recommend them? Do you read about them online? Do you wander the bookstore until something catches your eye? Does Amazon understand your buying habits and recommend just the right things? Do you pick them up at BJ's from the table next to the bags of socks?
All of the above? None?

Friends, Amazon, and blog reviews work for me!
I get them from everywhere! But mostly from blog reviews, friends, and Goodreads. Other notables include the NYT book reviews (and other newspaper articles), and lots of lists - the "Top 10/100/etc." variety or the "Locus/Nebula/Newbery/etc. Winner" variety. (I'm a big sucker for those lists.
I usually just go to B&N and browse. If something catches my eye and the first few pages look promising, I'll buy it.
One of the first places I've been looking lately is in the genre I write in -- YA. I search Amazon and get suggestions from friends and blogs.
