I don’t know how i feel I don’t hate it, i’m sure of that. But i’ve not LOVED it either Because we’re also learning with the fml about the world, it feels like nothing is happening but I want to keep reading and find out what happens

As a non native speaker, It is practically impossible to understand what Joseph is saying and I tend to skip his dialogues 😵

When I first started reading (around age 12), I mostly read whatever my mom could get for me. Later on, when I learned how to navigate the internet and use a computer, I started discovering books through blogs and reading forums. I slowly curated which blogs to follow, usually readers whose tastes matched mine, and I trusted that if they liked a book, I probably would too. Then I moved to Libby… and honestly? I’m not entirely sure how I kept finding things to read 😅 I don’t know if I just picked whatever showed up there or how I always had something lined up. That period feels like a weird blank in my memory. Content creators, Bookstagrammers, or BookTubers were never really my way of choosing books. I think I only follow one, and that’s because my mom recommended her to me after noticing the creator also loved Laura Gallego García (and I was like, okay, fair point). It was very much a “a book recommending a person” kind of thing. Still, I didn’t really read what she recommended… until last year, when I finally read the trilogy she wrote. I loved it and thought, okay, maybe I should actually listen to you. Yesterday I ended up binge-watching her YouTube videos and adding several of the books she mentioned that caught my attention to my tbr. But she’s really the only one.

Now with Pagebound, I’m loving the “emoji of the day” feature, it somehow keeps growing my Interested and my TBR status/shelves nonstop.

Another way, I think, was simply going to bookstores (there were only two in my city, with one only having the type of books i actually liked). So, I think that’s also how I started discovering books once I began using Libby 🤔

What about you? How has the way you discover new books changed over the years?
