I go through cycles where I try new authors, mostly because of no new book from my existing authors. Sometimes it's a recommendation from someone, sometimes just a book I spot that strikes my fancy. It's very much a hit or miss thing. I find that the most difficult are those books that are almost good, but just lack that spark that separates the good from the mundane.
At one time, I thought by this point we would have all these curated book lists, review sites and this week in books sites to told you want was coming out, new books to try and the like. The new books coming out sites were killed off by Amazon. No idea why the other stuff never really happened.
