I have a giant mixture of how I discover new books, but my biggest thing is mainly browsing local library website and their weekly lists of new releases as well as different book review aggregator sites

    My current method:

    1. Watch movie based on a book

    2. Read the book

    3. End up enjoying the book more than the movie

    Based on this, I highly recommend John Dies at the End and the three books that follow.

      That one seems to be a hugely recommended one on here!

      Can you tell me why you like reading books from which movies are made?

      I often find that reading a book after I watch the movie constrains my imagination to the images given by the movie, and I don’t like that. Do you ever feel like this?

        If the book was good enough to merit a movie budget, I feel like it’s good enough for me to at least check out.
