How I Discover Books - by Julie Damerell
Here's a list from @mellendamerell to help get you started
rom Debbie: I often talk to my friend @mellendamerell.bsky.social (a retired educator) about books and book recommendations, so decided to ask her where SHE finds out about books.
In addition to word-of-mouth recommendations from friends and family, here are the most common ways that Julie finds books to read:
Librarians - "The most recent example is a list of recommended adult graphic novels the librarian printed and handed to me."
Book Riot - https://bookriot.com/
Literary Activism (part of Book Riot) for books that have been/are banned - https://bookriot.com/category/literary-activism/
Queer Liberation Library - https://www.queerliberationlibrary.org/
We Need Diverse Books - https://www.diversebooks.org/
Kibooka - https://kibooka.com/

POLL: What about the rest of you? How do YOU find books to read?
