Does the internet, newspaper, etc. help to pick a book?

[Rosemary Owolabi]

Yes, the internet is really helpful. It helps me to choose what I want and read what I want. Internet is a blessing in disguise.

I’m happy to find a book I’m interested in any of these ways but I don’t find them in newspapers simply because I don’t get newspapers. If someone tells me about a great book that sounds interesting in person, on the Internet, or I just see one on Goodreads, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes I do just browse the shelves.

Yes, it helps a lot. For example, this OBC website provides many references to good books. There are also many influencers on Instagram who give me a lot of book recommendations.

In the digital age, finding a book to read has never been easier, thanks to a variety of sources. Personally, I use a combination of methods to choose my next read. Online platforms and forums like this are incredibly valuable for discovering new books and getting diverse opinions. I also find that there’s something special about physically handling books and seeing their covers in person, which can spark interest in unexpected ways.

Yes! When I am lost and don't know what to read next internet is a great help. It helps me decide what I can read and gives me great reccomendation.

The internet and the newspaper can help promote a book by displaying interested cover arts People normally judge a book by its cover unfortunately

[AsterAlder]

Actually, it does! There are times that I see a reel on instagram or equivalent and they mention a book I've read and say "If you liked this book, check out..." and then list off a few suggestions. I always get excited and note them down. Besides that, I enjoy seeing lists of the best sellers on amazon, to see if there are any that catch my eye.
