Finding Books

How do you find new books to read? I won't lie, I spend a lot of my time looking at books. Other people may browse music or shoes online; I look at books. I'm constantly searching for new books to read, new series to discover, new worlds to explore.  Here are my favorite ways to find books: 1) Ask friends! I periodically ask on social media, or by word of mouth, what everyone is reading and what they would recommend. I've come across some great new series this way. And bonus! You already have someone to talk about it with! 2) Best-seller lists.

2016 Update

We're off to a great year so far in terms of books! Some new releases from one of my favorite authors made January fun, as well as some books finally coming through on my hold list at the library. (Reviews forthcoming, huzzah!!!) I'm also eagerly awaiting some new releases this month and later this year. What books are you looking forward to the most this year? I've set a goal to read 100 books this year (Though a two week trans-atlantic trip in January has put me behind schedule!) I'm already on my sixth book and have many more queued up.  What are your reading goals? What are you reading right now? As we enter February (how are we a month into 2016 already?!?!), my life and schedule have finally settled down, and I can give this blog some more of the love it deserves! I hope you'll stick with me as I share with you the wonderful books I've been reading, and hopefully help you find new stories and adventures that you'll love.
