I mostly get my books from recommendations given by friends and family. I also follow my favourite authors on either Amazon or Goodreads to see what is coming next.
I get info from the author’s whose newsletters I signed up for. Also, Bookbub, Booksends and Amazon recommendations.
I would say FB and my newsletters. I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to what Amazon tells me to read. I want a real person’s opinion. Lol ❤
Book store -How I pick them
1st by my favorite author, then by the cover. I know its crazy…
I have a list of authors that of follow and always get their new releases. I get get new to me author’s book from adds on Amazon and a few other sites.
I use my recommendations from Amazon, book bun and and fb and my daughters.
At this point I have a list of authors I consistently read, but when I was younger, I’d go to the local used bookstore and browse… sometimes I’d look at books for hours at a time. Very occasionally a title, author name, or picture will spark an interest and I’ll pick up a new author. None of my friends read romances, so getting recommendations is hard!
I follow my favorite authors, bookstores and now I use my ereader checking it every day as I love to read

Generally I look through goodread for recommendations of other readers but also browsing through Amazon.
I find most of my books by checking the internet. It could be on Goodreads or what amazon recommends I read next. Sometimes I just type in a certain criteria for a book into google and see what comes up. It just depends on the day 🙂
I have favorite author’s that I read and follow them for new releases. I also review the websites of my favorite author’s to see if they recommend an author they may like. I normally review one or two books of that author to see if it would be something I would like to read.
I look through the books in Wal-Mart. I found one of yours and bought it. I have read your books ever since. I get my books mostly at Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
I find most of my romance books from the recommended lists on Amazon or Goodreads based on what I’ve already read. I also follow the authors whose books I loved, and my Kindle shows recommendations as well.
I find mine through Goodreads, Amazon, Walmart, Barnes and Noble and author websites.
I find most of my books on Amazon and I am on my favorite authors newsletter update.
I select by the cover, author and if it is historical romance. I like regency but Scottish suits my moods better- less pretentious. I’ve only had the opportunity to read two of your books so far but the interactions between the characters makes me continue reading until the book is finished. This is the sort of romance that I don’t mind re reading and telling others about. If I read a review such as this I would definitely purchase and read the book.

I get my books by following my favorite authors and from their recommendations
I find my books by watching my fav authors on Facebook and they will show their upcoming new books. They will also tell about other books and authors they have read. I also subscribe to BookBub and find many interresting books there.
Usually from my list of authors that I follow, their newsletters and pages and sometimes if they recommend another authors book. Good Reads, Book Bub, FB historical Romance pages.
Mostly I get my referrals from newsletters but once in while I get books mentioned in Facebook!
Amazon Kindle,Facebook referral,book clubs and my favorite authors like you.
I am subscribed to several daily book newsletters and I browse on several online retailers.
BookBub, prowling Amazon, Facebook groups, author newsletters and Goodreads.
Most of my recommendations come via BookPerks, BookBub
Amazon and Goodreads but I purchase most from Amazon Kindle. I like to explore new authors and having a little intro into their style gives me the impetus to purchase more of their works. Series books really grab me the most as I hate for a book to end… My favorite authors maintain the top shelf of my TBR list though.
For my favorite authors I check their websites or sign up for newsletters. If I’m looking for something new to me I look online at places like rt book reviews, smart bitches trashy books, or dear author for recommendations or reviews. If I have time I still like to browse at book stores to see if something catches my attention.
I have authors who I check daily on Amazon. I also search on Amazon for the top 100 sold, most wished for, and so on.
I listen to fellow book readers, read reviews online, and read the blurbs on books in the store.
Recommendations from Amazon and Goodreads. I follow my favorite authors on Amazon. I also get emails from various book accounts that show free or bargain books. So I have several avenues to hunt for books. I find new authors to try that way, while keeping up-to-date with all my favorite authors new releases. SQ
Goodreads! I look at the reviews from other readers. I also look at the book lists on goodreads, and new and upcoming releases!
By following my favourite authors.
Most of my recommendations come from Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
I also subscribe to my favorite authors website to get e-mails for upcoming releases.
Now I follow favorite authors to get their new releases. I also surf Amazon in the historical romance category looking for freebies. Money is tight. I know authors are looking to reel people into a series by giving the first or an early book away for free. I’ve read some duds, but I’ve also come across some great unknown to me authors that way too. Then I will pony up the dough for authors I feel are worth it to continue on the series, or I want to read more.
Good Morning Donna, I get most of my books, from my friend Kathy, and I found out I enjoy your books, and then I look on Amazon.com. I have found so many books on there. I like the fact that I can find what I want on Amazon. And your news letters.
I get most of my books from Amazon and used book stores.
I find out about books (by favorite authors or new ones) mostly thru book blogs. Or when I’m checking things out on Goodreads.
I maintain an index of all my ebook authors and check Amazon regularly for new releases. Then I check for all new releases ans read the descriptions. I also get recommendations from the various author newsletters.
Donna, thanks so much again for the 100 amazon gc. I loved to love a highlander. I am back to try again!!! I get most of my book recommendations by looking up highland romance on amazon. My friend Katie introduced me to Highland romances so that is mostly what I read. I get notifications from my fav authors. Once I find an author I usually read almost all they write. Donna you’re the best!!
I get most of my books from the authors that I follow, and recommendations from amazon and the nook

I get most of my books from just browsing. I just go to the kindle store and look around. If the excerpt sounds interesting then I get the book. I also have bookbub and love looking through their recommendations for me.
I find my books by following my favorite authors on facebook and by recommendations on both the kindle forum and also Goodreads.

When I buy on my kindle I look at the sujested and buy that way…most of them turn out to be Good!
I use my writers web sites to see what they have and also talk with my family who read the same kind of books. I also look at the book store on the internet that I use.
My favorite authors often recommend some they have read and then those authors recommend some they have enjoyed etc.
