I have some authors that I follow, but browse while shopping for new inspiration.
I have read some really great reviews from magazines. Tess Gerritsen is a amazing writer if you like mystery thriller books check her out.
I browse through the selection that my library has to sell at its book sales. I pick out anything that interest me and usually end up taking home about 20 books. That way when I finish one book I have a selection at home to choose from. I can also donate the books back to the libray so they can sell them again.
