Do you ever struggle to know what to read next? I can’t be the only one! So I’m going to share a few of my favorite ways to figure out what to read next. And I’d love it if you’d share your favorite tip too!
1. Grab a Friend’s Book Recommendation!
My best reads almost always come from friends who recommend their favorite books to me, and so I feel like you can’t go wrong. But the best friend to ask for a recommendation is the friend who rarely reads. That friend has REALLY high standards.
2. Check Book Availability on Libby App
I’m obsessed with the Overdrive App, Libby. This Library app makes eBooks and Audiobooks so easily accessible, and I’ve read most of my books with the help of this easy app! I love checking to see popular titles that are available now.
3. Visit a Bookstore or Library
Nothing can replace that feeling of walking through a bookstore or library, perusing the shelves of books, and seeking that perfect story amongst the collection. It’s a great way to find a new favorite.
4. Scroll Instagram / TikTok for the Rave Reviews
While I don’t always like following the crowd, the books that take TikTok and Instagram by storm are usually just as good as everyone is raving. I’m currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas*…and I get it.
5. Read a Book from my TBR Pile
Hilarious this one is last, but I have to say that sometimes I’m just not excited by the books that I’ve amassed in my TBR pile. But listen, sometimes I look through and I get excited again. Are we friends on Goodreads?

Bonus Tip: Search The Top 100 Books in your Favorite Genre on Amazon!
If you purchase via Amazon often, the algorithm is likely to suggest great book options to you, but you can also search for the top 100 books. I do this often to check out the romance section, and it’s a great way to see what’s trending or add to your TBR pile.
Do you have additional ways that you discover your next read? I’d love to know! Leave me a comment!
