Our public library allows users to borrow 12 books at a time, so I'd generally pick the first 8 books from my favourite genre, and then the remaining from random shelves - sometimes worked very well, sometimes not! Now that I tend to borrow mainly ebooks, I do the same - 2 from the preferred shelf, 1 random. I'm a bit less cavalier if I'm buying - it can be an expensive mistake! - and in that case, I tend to look at the reviews or take personal recommendations. Book clubs can be a good way of getting out of a reading rut.
