Writer's Block NZ Blog - JJ McConnachie

http://writersblocknz.weebly.com/blog/how-did-you-find-out-about-the-last-book-your-read

How did you find out about the last book you read? A very interesting survey done by goodreads shows that a large number of readers find books through recommendations from friends. The last book I read was a sequel to another novel, but I found out about it through a blog, read the reviews, then stumbled upon it in a bookstore sale and scooped it up. For me, all these things on the list play a part in the book-discovery process. How do you find your books? Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
