The last book I read was rec'd by a friend of mine. Many books I read are books she rec's. I also browse overdrive, although I end up reading very few of the books from there due to lack of selection. I sign up for email bargain lists off and on. Sometimes I find a decent book through those. Currently I am not signed up to any, but I have used these ad type emails in the past.
I no longer find browsing on Amazon at all useful. Two years ago, I was using the hebought/shebought or suggestions, but egads. They are useless to me now, as is searching on Amazon by genre or topic. I read a really great cozy that was set in Greece a year or so back and it was so much fun, I tried finding others like it using Amazon's search. Ha-ha. What a joke on me that was.
I have begun checking out a few review sites again too. But mainly, if I want to read a particular genre, my first stop is: Send an email to my friend. She reads over 200 books a year and doesn't spend time on forums because she is too busy reading!
