For me, it’s mostly newspaper reviews. But I have such a large backlog of books that I don’t go hunting; I wait to see what catches my eye.

What I would advise someone who’s flailing is to develop a list of books you’ve loved and look them up on Goodreads. See who else has loved them and check out their books. If overall they seem to your taste, start following them. This obviously is only going to work with somewhat more obscure books; finding people who also loved The Martian, say, isn’t much of a filter!
